Suicide is one of the world's most common causes of death in late childhood and adolescence, however it happens more frequently in older persons than in younger ones. Numerous young lives are directly lost as a result of this, but it also has disruptive psychological repercussions and harmful socioeconomic implications. These young individuals are predisposed to mental health issues, particularly as they enter puberty. This stage of life is marked by change, mobility, and simultaneous transitions from one state to another in a number of different areas. Young people must make decisions concerning significant, concrete aspects of their lives, such as education, housing arrangements, peer groups, etc. They must also deal with fresh difficulties in terms of forming their own identities, enhancing their sense of self, gaining more freedom and accountability, establishing fresh personal connections, etc. They experience continual, shifting psychological and bodily processes themselves in the interim. In addition, kids frequently deal with classmates and important relatives who have great expectations for them— sometimes even excessively high ones. A certain amount of helplessness, uncertainty, worry, and a sensation of losing control are unavoidably brought on by such circumstances. Young people need access to considerable supportive resources, such as a secure living environment, close connections, a structural framework, and financial means, in order to handle these issues and successfully manage these emotions. Risk factors may be thought of as elements that weaken this support or make it more difficult to access these resources, whilst protective elements fortify and safeguard these resources or function as a buffer against risk factors. From the standpoint of general mental health, youth suicide is a critical issue that has to be addressed. We thus require thorough understanding of the risk variables influencing young people's suicide conduct. The most significant risk factors for late school-age children and teenagers are briefly summarised in this little review, according to the findings of relevant scientific research
