The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the complex and growing problem of adolescent suicide. The annotated bibliography consists of 7 articles on recent facts and data, 10 articles on causes determined by research, 11 items on indicators seen in adolescents, and 14 documents on how educators can help. A lack of secure social connections, compounded by poor parental examples, may lead to self-destructive behavior patterns, such as drug abuse, and perhaps later, suicide. Depression is a strong indicator of possible suicidal tendencies. Early recognition and identification by school personnel of such warning signals as prolonged depression in students should raise the alert of a possible suicide. It is recommended that: (1) schools include a mini-unit in the curriculum on suicide; (2) the topic of suicide be discussed openly after making students aware of it; (3) students should know where they can go for help; and (4) a national organization directing its attention towards the prevention of adolescent suicide should be formed.
