Abstract
Recently, the number of suicide cases among children and students is rising in Hong Kong. Although the multi-media usually accuses that students are facing tremendous pressure from school, I believe that student suicide is a result of multiple reasons from different aspects. Based on the previous studies, family is one of the most important predictive factors. Children’s emotion would be influenced if the relationship among two parents and children become entangled, or children become the scapegoat of the parents’ conflicts and are triangulated among parents and children. If such situation continues for a long period of time, especially when pressures from the environment emerges (e.g., academic pressure, peer pressure), children may easily head toward a disastrous result. In addition, children's emotion may be influenced by their parents’ emotion. When parents’ emotion fluctuates, their children would be like a sponge absorbing parents' emotion. If children keep on staying in such a situation for a long time, their emotions may easily burst out. Furthermore, parents sometimes may label or hurt their children unconsciously. These words will be like a time bomb hidden in a child’s heart that may be exploded suddenly. Thus, education toward parents is indispensable.
