abstract="OBJECTIVE: To inventory the reasons adolescents give for their perceptions of events, thoughts, and feelings in the last days and hours before and during the attempt. METHOD: A semistructured interview also included the administration of an instrument that contained the formulation of reasons. RESULTS: The most frequently mentioned reasons for attempting suicide concerned the cessation of (an unbearable) consciousness. The motivation most frequently named for &quot;crossing the bridge&quot; between thinking about and attempting suicide involved an escalation of frustration and tension. CONCLUSIONS: Special emphasis should be given to family relationships, relationships with peers and friends, frustration tolerance, and the way in which adolescents handle their problems.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
