Studies<\/td>\n<td>Suicide rate of adolescents in Hong Kong used to be lower than that in the other age groups. It has been on a rise continuously since the 80&#8217;s, and reached a historical peak in 2002. Among the adolescents who died from suicide, over 70% had suffered from at least one kind of mental disorders, including depression, behavioural problem, or drug abuse (Yip et al., 1998). Among form 4 to form 7 students with suicidal thoughts, those with depressive symptoms outnumbered those without by 1.85 times (Yip et al., 2003).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"red-font\">Associated Factors<\/td>\n<td>Suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms among adolescents is much attributed to factors such as poor relationships with parents (lack of care and understanding), school pressure, and peer pressure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"red-font\">Help-Seeking<\/td>\n<td>Among the adolescents with serious psychological problems involving depression or suicidality, less than a tenth of them had been given any kind of counselling or social work support. If they were able to seek help earlier, many tragedies could probably have been avoided.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"red-font\">Life Threat<\/td>\n<td>Past experiences have told us that negligence to and untreated depression could take one&#8217;s life.
