FERNANDEZ-GONZALEZ, Olga María et al. Adolescents' experiences with attempted suicide: family, school, and Friends. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2025, vol.23, n.2, pp.111-134.  Epub July 30, 2025. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.23.2.6583.

The aim of this study to describe and analyse the subjective experience of adolescents who have attempted suicide in relation to their parents, peers and school. Ten adolescents between 15 and 18 years old who have made suicide attempts are interviewed. The information is analyzed according to Grounded Theory criteria. The results allow us to configure a central phenomenon in each of the three contexts explored: a) My parents did not perceive my suffering, until I could not take it anymore; b) I find it difficult to feel comfortable among my peers. I have no close friends; and, c) «School can be stressful for me, but it can also worry about me». The conclusions present a comprehensive relational model and reflect on the systemic possibilities of intervention in different contexts.

Keywords : Adolescence; suicide; parent-child relationships; school; interpersonal relationships; subjective experiences.
