A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding the Cause of Teenage Suicides and Its Solution among Teachers Working in Selected Rural Schools

Abstract

Abstract: The reasons behind a teen's suicide or attempted suicide can be complex. Although suicide is relatively rare among children, the rate of suicides and suicide attempts increases greatly during adolescence. Suicide rates differ between boys and girls. Girls think about and attempt suicide about twice as often as boys, and tend to attempt suicide by overdosing on drugs or cutting themselves.
