Abstract

Every suicide is a unique tragedy. This article has attempted to provide a framework for understanding suicide as it impacts on the school community. Given this background, we have listed 10 frequent dilemmas faced by pediatricians (and others) who consult to schools. The central themes of the approach offered are to avoid inadvertently glorifying suicide, target high-risk groups for interventions, and consider suicide prevention as part of the broad, ongoing task of providing a caring environment for adolescents in which the collaboration of the school community is essential.
