Abstract

Questionnaires completed by approximately 125 counselors revealed contact with 187 students considering suicide during 1 academic year, 26 of whom had attempted suicide, and 1 of whom committed suicide. Critical concerns of elementary students identified by counselors included parent divorce, appearance/self-esteem, peer pressure, remarriage, academic failure, alcohol/drug abuse, learning disabilities, latchkey children, suicidal behavior, and illness/disability.
