This study aims to examine the role of social support as a predictor of suicide ideation in Gunung Kidul, a resident with the highest suicide rate in Indonesian high school students. Previous research shows links between perceived social support and suicide ideation, but little is known if the relation applies in the context of Gunung Kidul. Perceived social support is measured with Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and suicide ideation is measured with The Scale of Suicide Ideation (SSI). This research involves 260 high school students in Wonosari and Semanu, Gunung Kidul. Regression analysis shows that perceived social support contribute to the decrease of suicide (p<0.01), with R 2 value 11.3% dan ß value -0.276. This shows that perceived social support is a significant predictor to decrease suicide ideation. This result can be a good consideration for intervention about suicide ideation in Gunung Kidul.
