abstract="It is proposed that an effective way of preventing youth suicide is to guarantee each child an upbringing that is conducive to the development of a positive self-esteem. Self-esteem is important in order to be equipped and to cope with life's difficulties. Although suicide is complex, the lack of self-esteem can lead to self-destruction. This research outlines self-esteem-building techniques for the classroom. There is a world of difference in schools' fostering a feeling of &quot;I'm great&quot; as opposed to &quot;I'm stupid&quot; in children. It is argued that much more than providing suicide prevention programs can be done; preprevention is needed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
