Abstract
High-risk adolescents, with strong suicidal ideation, report more psychosocial distress, drug problems and disrupted family relations than other high-risk teens, according to a study in the November 1994 Journal of School Health . Researchers studied potential high-school dropouts, a high-risk group considered at elevated suicide risk. Compared to other high-risk teens, this group had higher levels of depression, low self-esteem, anger and perceived stress. Highly suicidal teens used more drugs, with more negative consequences. This group was more pessimistic about school performance and unmet school goals than other high-risk students with similar school records.
