“…In this study, we found that students who perceived higher support from family members and more trustful relationships between classmates tended to have lower levels of suicidal ideation. Our results are similar to those reported by both Bračič et al (2019) and Langille et al (2012). That is, Bračič et al (2019) found that depressive feelings and family support independently affected suicidal ideation, while Langille et al (2012) found that perceived trust and helpfulness at school protected against the condition.…”

Suicide is an important public health issue for adolescents. To investigate the risk and protective factors for adolescent suicide, a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted at a junior high school (n = 379) in Japan in 2018. After obtaining survey data, we conducted univariate and logistic regression analyses to test for associations between suicidal ideation and several factors, including worries (i.e., about school life, interpersonal relationships at school, family life, interpersonal relationships at home, and academic performance), perceived support from school staff and family members, and social capital. In this context, the existence of trustful relationships between classmates was used as indicators of social capital. The results showed that the prevalence of suicidal ideation was 10.5%. The risk of suicidal ideation was increased by worries about 1) interpersonal relationships at school, 2) interpersonal relationships at home, and 3) academic performance, but was decreased by social support from family members and trusting relationships. Further, the rate of suicidal ideation was higher among students who expressed all these three worries when compared to those who expressed two or fewer worries. In addition, looking at students who expressed all these three worries simultaneously, the rate of suicidal ideation was higher among those with lower levels of support from family members and fewer trustful relationships. Our results suggest that the prevention of adolescent suicide should include strategies for reducing worries about interpersonal relationships at school/home and academic performance while finding ways to enhance family support and classmate social capital.

“…Correlation of loneliness on intensity of depression is consistent with the findings of many authors [29][30][31]46], with a significant proportion of studies focusing on the correlation between sense of loneliness and depressive disorders. In a study by Lasgaard et al conducted on a group of 1009 high school students, a hypothesis was put forward whereby loneliness correlates with the development of symptoms of depression depending on the source of loneliness, and a mutual correlation was demonstrated.…”

“…It was demonstrated that peer-and family-related loneliness was associated with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts [29]. Similar conclusions were made in a study by Bračič et al conducted in Slovenia, in which higher loneliness and depressive disorder indicators in adolescents additionally resulted in an increased suicide rate (15.5%) [46]. Vanhalst et al also pointed to a mutual dependence between loneliness and depression from middle to late puberty [30].…”

Introduction: Having impaired relations and limited interpersonal contact is associated with a sense of loneliness, and can result in a number of mental disorders, including the development of depression. Approximately one in five adolescents in the world suffers from depression, and first episodes of such are occurring at increasingly young ages. Due to a lack of appropriate support from parents, teachers and the healthcare system, the young person feels alone when dealing with their problem. Aims: The aims of this study are to determine the prevalence of anxiety, depression, aggression and sense of loneliness among high school students, and to analyze a correlation between loneliness and depression. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 300 high school students in Poland. The study material was collected using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-M) and De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS). Results: A feeling of loneliness correlated significantly with depressive disorders (p < 0.005), with the strongest effect between the total HADS-M score and the total loneliness scale score (r = 0.61). The overall presence of disorders as per HADS-M was found to be 23%, and borderline conditions were found in 19.3%. In 24% of the students, disorders were revealed on the anxiety subscale and in 46.3% on the aggression subscale. On DJGLS, a very severe sense of loneliness was observed in 6.67% of the subjects, and in 42.3% of them, a moderate feeling of loneliness was indicated. On the social loneliness subscale, a severe sense of loneliness was found in 22.7%, while on the emotional loneliness subscale, it was found in 16.7% of the subjects. Conclusions: In this study, a quarter of the student participants experienced anxiety and depression disorders. Students showing higher levels of anxiety, depression, and aggression also showed enhanced loneliness. Girls showed higher levels of anxiety, depression and aggression, as well as emotional loneliness.

“…Numerous causes of adolescents' suicide have been reported such as mental disorders and academic achievements; however, recently, weight-related concerns including perceived overweightness and inappropriate weight control behaviors have been associated with suicidal ideation and risk (Daly, Robinson, & Sutin, 2020;Lee et al, 2016;Sardahaee et al, 2019). Hence, it is essential to identify the weight-related factors affecting adolescents' suicidality (Bračič, Roškar, Kocjan, & Klanšček, 2019).…”

This study aimed to investigate the associations between weight perception, unhealthy weight control behavior, and suicidal ideation and planning and identify the role of unhealthy weight control behavior as a mediator in these associations among Korean adolescents. Design and methods: This national cross-sectional secondary study used data from the 2015-2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Surveys, with a final sample of 96,285 adolescents who tried to manage their weight in the 30 days prior to the surveys. A multivariate logistic regression was conducted. Results: Both adolescent groups who perceived themselves to be underweight or overweight were significantly linked to a greater likelihood of suicidal ideation and planning (COR, 95% CI = 1.249, 1.141-1.367; COR, 95% CI = 1.339, 1.282-1.399) respectively. While adolescents with perceptions of being underweight are associated with suicidal ideation and planning through the suppression effect of unhealthy weight control behavior (Pathway A: OR, 95% CI = 0.628, 0.587-0.671), adolescents with perceptions of being overweight are linked with the same through the mediation effect (Pathway A: OR, 95% CI = 1.195, 1.141-1.251). Conclusions: Adolescents with perceptions of being overweight are highly likely to have unhealthy weight control behavior that can be linked to the possibility of suicidal ideation and planning, while adolescents with perceptions of being underweight are comparatively less likely to engage in such behavior. Practice implications: It is necessary to identify the status of weight perception among adolescents and closely monitor the unhealthy weight control behavior to prevent suicidal ideation and planning.
