Physiologically
Teens bereaved with/have a strong exposure to teen suicide cases are at a high risk of negative physical outcomes (e.g. CVD, COPD, hypertension, diabetes and pancreatic cancer). These physical impacts are mainly accompanied with psychological influences, which results in effects like loss in appetite and weight loss such mental illness symptoms/struggles.
Already somehow struggling teens might also find themselves socially withdrawn from their normal social circles and isolate themselves from those who support them due to inability to process complex emotions influenced by thoughts of suicide and such attempts provoked by media/exposure. This might also lead to suicidal attempts.
Cognitively
The copycat suicide phenomenon is a trend/emulation of another suicide that such knows about either from local knowledge or due to accounts or depictions of the original suicide on television and in other media. Through publicising teen suicide or being exposed more to them with technological advancement, some teens who are struggling with mental illness or life changes of an adolescence's maturing phase would spark suicidal thoughts as a seemingly logical cure of the "pain" they endure. #
Psychologically
Exposure to teenage suicide amongst adolescence doesn't necessarily trigger the act or risk of suicide sometimes, instead it increases the incidence of causes that mostly contribute to teenage suicide (e.g. depression, anxiety, PTSD).
Society
There's an almost immediate reaction to news/shows about suicide in teens who are already in struggle of processing life. Reports have even shown that after a scene of teenage suicide on television shows or consistent reports of teenage suicide due to relatable problems for such peers, there is an instant increase of teenage suicide the night or following week of airing the shows.
Causes
Academic pressure
Hong Kong teenagers are competitive and easily feel stressed because they can’t meet teachers’ expectation or they are trained too hard for their final exam.
This cause lots of pressure and even think of giving up their precious lives as they are worried of their future and study.
The Social Welfare Department’s child mortality reviews from 2006 to 2011 showed schoolwork pressures were linked to between 29 per cent and 42 per cent of youth suicides.
Numerous surveys show the biggest sources of pressure for Hong Kong students are tests and homework.
Family relationship
Teenagers’ parents are working outside and may not have enough time to build up the relationship with their children.
They will easily have arguement and cause teens to be emotional and depressed. They may also feel helpless as their parent don’t even care about them.
Seventy per cent of the cases had previously shown suicidal signs but had gone unnoticed by their parents.
Interpersonal
Tragic stories of a young person’s suicide death linked in some way to bullying (physical, verbal, or online) have become regrettably common.
.
Youth who report frequently bullying others and youth who report being frequently bullied are at increased risk for suicide-related behavior
Over 70 per cent of youngsters who took their lives in recent years had relationship problems with peers or parents, according to the chairman of a committee set up to prevent student suicides.
Cases
