I believe that you will find such a thing in your ordinary Internet that there is often a teenager in such and such a region who commits suicide, and this kind of news is not uncommon now. In recent years, the number of adolescents committing suicide in China and even in the world has been rising, which has caused widespread concern and concern in the society, and this phenomenon cannot be simply attributed to the poor psychological tolerance of the new generation, it reflects the problems and troubles of adolescents in psychological, emotional and social adaptation, etc., and there are many social, family and psychological factors hidden behind it.

First of all, social factors are one of the important reasons for the increase in the suicide rate among adolescents. With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing competition in society, young people are facing tremendous pressure. The gaokao is one of the most important exams in the lives of Chinese teenagers, and the pressure it brings is often beyond their means. At the same time, the popularity of social networking has also led to teenagers falling into online violence and bullying, making them feel helpless and have nowhere to run.

Second, family factors have an equally significant impact on adolescent suicide rates. In today's fast-growing society, many parents focus on their careers and work, while neglecting their children's emotional care and education. This makes children feel insecure and belonging. Conflicts and strife within some families also have a negative impact on the mental health of adolescents.

In addition, psychological factors are also one of the important reasons for the increase in the suicide rate among adolescents. Adolescence is a time of contradiction and confusion, and adolescents experience great changes, both physically and psychologically. The challenges and distress they face often outweigh their ability to cope, leading to low mood and heightened feelings of inferiority. The lack of mental health education and counselling services makes it difficult for adolescents to cope effectively with their own psychological problems.

In the face of this problem that cannot be ignored, we need to take proactive and effective measures to help young people get out of the predicament of suicide. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen social attention to the mental health of adolescents, provide more psychological counseling and support, and create a safe and tolerant environment for them to grow up. Secondly, families should pay attention to communication and relationship building with their children, and give them full love and understanding.

At the same time, schools and education departments should increase the intensity of mental health education and provide more mental health education and counseling services. In addition, we need to take proactive measures to prevent and intervene in adolescent suicide.

In conclusion, the rising rate of youth suicide is a serious and complex problem that requires the attention of the whole society. The maintenance of adolescent mental health requires everyone to participate, pay attention to the growth of adolescents, help adolescents establish healthy interpersonal relationships and psychological states, we need a healthy and plump society to shape a brave and healthy personality for teenagers, and do not let children wither before they bloom.
