“…38 A more specific problem is that adolescents with suicidal ideation may be at particular risk for searching the Internet for information about suicide-related topics. 39 Suicide-related searches were found to be associated with completed suicides among young adults. 40 Prosuicide Web sites and online suicide pacts facilitate suicidal behavior, with adolescents and young adults at particular risk.…”

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents 15 to 19 years old. This report updates the previous statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics and is intended to assist pediatricians, in collaboration with other child and adolescent health care professionals, in the identification and management of the adolescent at risk for suicide. Suicide risk can only be reduced, not eliminated, and risk factors provide no more than guidance. Nonetheless, care for suicidal adolescents may be improved with the pediatrician’s knowledge, skill, and comfort with the topic, as well as ready access to appropriate community resources and mental health professionals.

“…While these issues may reflect the changing nature of communication technology and its use by young people, it does have an impact on case ascertainment. We excluded one study [58] which asked "Have you ever felt hurt by a message you have seen on the Internet or on a mobile website?" since it did not necessarily imply that the individual had "felt hurt" more than once, nor that the message was directed towards them.…”

Evidence before this studyThe adverse impact of bullying on children and young people has long been recognised. The rise of electronic communication has led to "cyberbullying". Two previous systematic reviews exploring the association between cyberbullying involvement and self-harm (SH)/suicidal behaviours included only three quantitative studies on this topic but the field has rapidly expanded. Added value of this studyWe conducted a comprehensive search of all available literature form 1 st January 1996 to 3 rd February 2017 examining the association between cyberbullying involvement and SH and suicidal behaviours in children and young people. We included studies on both victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying and assessed SH, suicidal behaviours, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation separately. We quantified these relationships through metaanalyses. We identified 31 eligible articles across almost 30 different nations.Victims of cyberbullying are at a greater risk than non-victims of both SH and suicidal behaviours. To a lesser extent, perpetrators of cyberbullying are at risk of suicidal behaviours and suicidal ideation when compared to non-perpetrators. Implications of all the available evidenceAnti-bullying programmes in educational settings should include cyberbullying prevention alongside traditional bullying and address the needs and behaviours of both victims and perpetrators. Clinicians assessing mental health issues in children and young people should specifically and routinely ask about Internet use and cyberbullying. This research area would benefit from a clear definition of cyberbullying. Prospective longitudinal study designs should be employed to address issues of causality and direction using validated instruments to assess suicidal behaviours. More detailed analysis of the medium of cyberbullying, the interaction of cyberbullying with traditional bullying and potential protective factors is also required. 2 ABSTRACT Background

“…Overuse of mobile phones can have negative effects on psychological health, including depression and chronic stress (Augner & Hacker, 2010), and increased suicidal ideation (Katsumata, Matsumoto, Kitani, & Takeshima, 2008). Research supports the link between depression and excessive texting, social networking, gaming, viewing video clips, emailing, and listening to music, which can all be accessed via a smartphone (Allam, 2010;de Wit, Straten, Lamers, Cuijpers, & Penninx, 2011;Huang, 2010;Kalpidou, Costin, & Morris, 2011).…”

The use of smartphone technology has increased drastically resulting in a risk of addiction to certain web applications, such as social networking sites (SNS) that are easily accessible via smartphones. A major concern regarding the increased use of SNS sites is the risk of an increase in narcissism amongst users of SNS. The present study examined the relationship between smartphone use, narcissistic tendencies, and personality as predictors of smartphone addiction. A self-selected sample of 256 smartphone users (M = 29.2; SD = 9.49) completed an online survey. The results revealed that 13.3% of the sample was classified as addicted to smartphones. Regression analysis revealed that narcissism, openness, neuroticism, and age were linked to smartphone addiction. Therefore, it is suggested that smartphones encourage narcissism, even in non-narcissistic users. Future research requires more in-depth qualitative data, addiction scale comparisons, and comparison of use with, and without, SNS access. Further, it is advised that prospective buyers of smartphones be pre-warned of the potential addictive properties of new technology.
