Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of suicidal behavior of student youth. The educational process in institutions of higher education often exacerbates already existing internal personal problems of a young person, which often lead to a crisis. The most typical among them are: a crisis of adaptation to the conditions of study in a higher educational institution (1st year); crisis "in the middle" of studies (2-3 courses); crisis of completion of studies and transition to another social status (4-5 courses - beginning of work). Therefore, the main reasons for suicide can be problems of adaptation to a new life, an increased level of responsibility, a change in priorities, lack of parental care, communication difficulties, low self-esteem and lack of self-acceptance, forming relationships with the opposite sex, etc.In addition, today's youth most acutely react to social troubles in society, which affect the growth of the number of factors that can be decisive in making a decision about suicide. The main factors include: alcoholism, drug addiction, abuse of toxic substances, depression, illness, financial problems, violence (emotional, mental, physical, sexual). Attention is focused on individual-psychological and social-psychological risk factors that can contribute to the emergence of suicidal behavior of young people: problems with a loved one; interpersonal conflicts or loss of significant relationships; long stay in the role of a victim; disappointment in higher education or failure in studies; high requirements of higher education institutions for the final results of educational activities (exams); employment problems, financial problems; difficult life circumstances, disasters, etc. Suicidal behavior among student youth is explained by the fact that they do not have enough life experience and cannot correctly determine the goal of life and ways to achieve it. The components of suicidal behavior are identified: suicidal thoughts, ideas, experiences, as well as suicidal tendencies, among which thoughts and intentions can be distinguished. The used methodological toolkit made it possible to determine the levels of depression and the tendency to suicidal behavior among student youth.
