This study examines the characteristics and status of youth suicide, identifies the causes of suicide in terms of family, school and society, looks at the status of suicide prevention, presents a new perspective on how to view suicide from a Christian point of view, mentions the need for the church's role in preventing suicide, and presents concrete alternatives to what role the church should play in preventing suicide. Youth suicide is characterized by self-destructive behavior and is a highly contagious social problem that causes shocking suffering to family members, relatives, friends, and causes social unrest.
The cause of death for adolescents is much lower, but the suicide rate is still high. There are three main causes of youth suicide: first, domestic discord, second, school problems caused by school violence. Third, it can be seen as a social problem due to social polarization and its negative role in the media and media.There are many other government agencies besides schools, but all of the nation's youth suicides are not fully covered.Therefore, the church should work together to prevent youth suicide.
The church is located in various parts of the country, and people from different professions are inside the church, which can be of great help in preventing suicide in various ways throughout the country. Specifically, it can handle youth suicide prevention through life-respecting parenting, youth education for suicide prevention education, pastoral counseling for healthy school life, counseling helper organization, linkage with professional institutions, 1:1 tutoring and mentoring support, scholarship support and sound media production support. Of course, it would be too much for the church to implement all of these alternatives. However, depending on the characteristics of each church and the local situation, and also on the human resources within the church, it could be a life-saving church with good influence not only on the youth in the church but also on the youth in the community.
