SP - 113 EP - 120 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - To be gifted and talented does not necessarily mean to be happy and secure.

However, to have a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, it is necessary to view suicide from a sociocultural perspective. This article discusses suicide among talented students, focusing on the role of family, school, community and culture in suicide prevention. © 1998 A B Academic Publishers Printed in Great Britain.
