Adolescent suicide represents a growing public health concern influenced by a combination of psychological, social, and environmental stressors. This article explores the major risk factors contributing to suicidal ideation and behavior among adolescents, including emotional disorders, family conflicts, academic pressure, and the impact of digital communication. Using a qualitative analytical approach, the study reviews contemporary literature to identify effective prevention strategies and intervention models. The findings highlight the importance of early detection, supportive family and school environments, and accessible mental-health services. Recommendations emphasize the need for comprehensive, community-based approaches that foster resilience, reduce stigma, and encourage adolescents to seek help during emotional crises.
