Suicidal tendencies pose a significant challenge among young individuals. While they are commonly associated with underlying psychiatric disorders, they can also emerge as a result of acute stress reactions or crises during adolescence. It is essential for those involved in education, prevention, and healthcare to be well-informed about this issue. The prevention, recognition, assessment of risk, and appropriate treatment of suicidality in all its manifestations are vital for safeguarding the lives of young people in the midst of suicidal crises and ideations. Furthermore, these efforts have a long-term impact on the overall mental health quality of adolescents. When clinicians are working with young individuals experiencing psychosocial crises, they must always bear in mind the potential presence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. There are few experts who know how to adequately deal with this problem, and there is an increasing incidence of patients with suicidal tendencies in primary care clinics. With the influence of globalization and accelerated and uncontrolled technological development, young people are preoccupied with trends, often wrong role models and guidelines that make them gain an unrealistic perception of the world around them and how to become part of that society. The incidence of suicidal ideation, cluster suicides, general anxiety, depression and hopelessness are just some of the examples of the negative effect of social media and the popularization of trends by celebrities. There are insufficient studies on suicides and non suicidal self injury, which brings into focus the incompetence of health and educational institutions in dealing with them. Psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical bihevioral therapy show success in treating and improving the quality of life in high-risk adolescents, but it is problematic that the current models and programs implemented in schools and primary health care are often delayed by more than a year when 28 it comes to early detection of suicidal behaviour. Timely recognition of suicidal symptoms and support provided by family, positive environment and responsible institutions are the only methods of choice for the assessment and treatment of suicidal behaviour.
