Abstract

In Lithuania, suicide is among the top three causes of death; between twenty and thirty-three school-age children take their own lives every year, and the overwhelming majority of adolescents do not seek help in connection with situations that prompt them to engage in self-mutilation. Research indicates adolescents think that if more attention is paid to their social and psychological state, the problem of self-mutilation can be confronted more successfully. Agne Laskite is a candidate of biomedical sciences and an instructor at the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Culture. © 2011 M.E. Sharpe, Inc. All rights reserved.
