Abstract
Good care is out of the question when it is based on misleading foundations. When it comes to suicidal behavior in adolescents, it is necessary to get rid of some beliefs that have been denied by suicidal adolescents themselves, myths that hinder the prevention of this selfdestructive behavior, the different types of suicidal communications hinted by them, and the nature of depression in this particular age group in order to make an early diagnosis and provide timely treatment.

It is important to pay attention to bullying, a common form of violence in schools that is increasing in most countries and can lead to the suicide of the bullied victims or to real tragedies when, exceeded the limits of their tolerance, the victims decide to take revenge on those responsible for their suffering such as victimizers, accomplices or witnesses, by killing several classmates, schoolmates, teachers and anyone standing on their way, prior to committing suicide
The suicide prevention chain in adolescents starts with the adolescents themselves and their capacity to provide self-help, but it involves the family, friends, teachers, significant others such as a priest or pastor, pediatricians, family doctors, psychologists, and juvenile psychiatrists
