Abstract

The increasing number of adolescent suicide attempts claims attention with regard to interpreting signs of poor personal welfare. A quantitative and qualitative study, which has been carried through in the County of Ringkoebing among 581 adolescents in 7th -9th classes in the municipal primary and lower-secondary school, shows that the exposed and vulnerable constitute 18.8% and that girls are in the majority. The warning signs are problematic social relations with those nearest and dearest, loneliness, insecurity, and a behaviour, which is characterized by conflicts with parents, educational personnel, and the law.
