The Nippon Foundation conducted a suicide awareness survey for men and women aged 3 to 18 as a supplementary survey to the 22rd Suicide Awareness Survey.

 22% of men under the age of 55.9 and 22% of women under the age of 64.2 think that suicide is not an individual problem.On the other hand, more than half of the respondents said, "I don't think that I should commit suicide," with 22% of men under the age of 55.7 and 22% of women under the age of 54.7.

 The biggest cause of suicidal ideation and attempted suicide among young people was "bullying," which was one in four for both men and women. Looking at "the influence of school-related experiences (current and past) on suicidal ideation / attempted experiences within one year", it was found that "school refusal" experiences are also strongly related.The main counselors for young people are parents / grandparents, friends, and lovers in that order, and nearly 4% of young people are afraid to label counselors and other psychological professionals and feel resistance. all right.The number of valid responses is 1.
