Two boys fell off the building after leaving a suicide note on the school resumption day. Psychologists pointed out that the reasons for the suicide are complicated, but the school start day after a long holiday has always been a high-risk period, because the start of school is a major event for students, and the accumulation of pressure in various aspects and the imitation effect have Choose suicide.
Therefore, family members should pay special attention to their children’s emotions before and after school starts. If they reveal negative words, they should not take it lightly and just say “it’s okay”, and they should try their best to care and provide assistance.
Secondary schools and kindergartens resumed classes in stages from today (3rd), and two boys aged 12 and 17, who were in Secondary 1 and Secondary 5, left their suicide notes and jumped out of their apartment to commit suicide. They died after being sent to the hospital.
The academic problems faced by the two deceased were different. Clinical psychologist Ye Miaoyan pointed out that the reasons for the suicide of the school children were complicated, or they were worried that they would not be able to keep up with their studies after a long vacation, that they would not be able to meet the expectations of their families, problems with communication with their families, interpersonal relationships, etc. All kinds of problems can lead to suicidal thoughts.
However, the school day after a long holiday has always been a high-risk period for suicide, because the start of school is a big event for students, and the news of suicide brings a copycat effect.
Therefore, Ye Miaoyan suggested that family members should pay special attention to the emotions of their children before and after school starts, including whether they are feeling depressed, cry easily, refuse to contact others, give away their beloved items to others, or say that they are born without love.
If their children reveal negative words, parents should not take it lightly and just say "it's okay", they should try their best to care and provide assistance.
Ye Miaoyan suggested that students should take the initiative to seek help from their parents, social workers or teachers if they perceive their emotional problems.
