Suicide is the second leading reason of death, the top
cause is accidental events such as car－accidents, the earth
－quake,airplane eruption and natural disasters· According
to certain research report, the juvenile suicide from the age
fifteento ninteen has a highly rising degree in proportion to
the statistic number accounted in 1950 before, and the rate is
three－timesincresing·?Since 1974, a group of scientific studies
has discovered a connection between the uprising deaths and the
publishedstories and reasons before the s
uicide· Therefore, we should come to find out what are the main
causes that result in thetragedies as well as the way of solving
it·?There are various means which have been tried for self－
killing· Some people get into a single－automobile possibly just
toend himself with the name of accident, especially after open－
publicized stories are reported to be well－known, the happenings
are obviously apt to increase·?The suicides in the
United States make a greater increase after the revealed suicide
stories,and the more publication the stories bring to the public,
the greater it influences the growing in amount of suicides there
after·?Other youngsters committed, suicide simply because the un-
solvable problem of romance· It was analysed by the Tokyo Police
Departmentadolescents' psychology research center that the
se quickly increasing suicide cases can be stopped with prediction,
and preventionof producing any similar tragedies which are resulted
from the failure in romance or from the curious adventure challenges
of youths·?
It can be observed with unnormal signs from juvenile daily
conducts to discover reasons for the phenomenon of their suicides·
The warning made to parents by the psychology study center goes that
their children's suicides are no matter of sudden decision,but are
from long－time frustration, desperation, and consideration of the
ending·?At the same time, in the magazine ofUSA Today of 1986, one
report about the indications of young people's tendency to k
ill themselves is attributed to be shownin their daily behaviors as
follows:
1·They often get into unusual moodiness·
2· They are always in the state of appearing to fight and are
usually getting angry with unregular belligerency·
3·They are sometimes captured by the feeling of despair and
desperation from reality·
4·Violent or rebellious behaviors are apparently shown by the
juvenilities·
5· Withdrawn conducts are made by them when they are facing the
authority of parents and teachers·?
People would be less possible to do as the same the publicized
suicide examples, if that happening event was presented ina neutral,
unbasised and less mysterous way· Oftentimes a suicide leaves the
relatives great pain to suffer, and he himselfalso bears considerable
agony of his own when he tried to end his life·?
Ways to olve suicide problems are never running out of sources if
people do care about this case· Availability of psychological counseling
or teen－age support groups are both good and useful ways of raducing the
suicide stories·?Futhermore, thereare five solutions cited below by China
Post of 1986 th at can prevent tragedies from happening·
1· Don't Iet youngsters become separated from others, help them to
participate in groups all the time·
2· Try to stand yourself by their side, and be considerately thoughtful
of the rights and fellings of adolescents'·
3·Have intimate chats or conversations with them·
4· Spare some of your leisure time and listen to what they want to say,
let them express their own thoughts and opinions·
5· Adulits should preserve the family harmony· Don't argue or have
quarrels in front of the children·?
In fact, some lives could be saved and rescued if less publicity were
given to suicide stories· Thus it cannot be over－emphasizedfor people
in the press to remind themselves to be more careful and responsible all
the time when they are reporting suchcases·?

the note read, “sign here·” By the time the teacher intercepted the
note, which was on its wayto Graham, all the students in the class had
signed it· Graham not only had no friends among his fourth－grade class
mates,he was the object of intense loathing·
Psychologists estimate that between 5 and 10 percent of the children
in elementary school classes are without friends· Manyof these children
are, like Graham, actively disliked·
One way that psychologists identify such children is by asking the
students in a class to write the names of up to three classmatesthey like
and up to three that they dislike This·

Most of the children can be divided into 4 categories: ordinary,
poplar, neglected and rejected children· The rejected childrenin
elementary school are without friends and are activeal disliked·
Rejected children are off from an important source of pleasure
and learning opportunities· They are lonelier, have lower self－
esteemand are less happy than more－popular oungsters· Life is hard
for denied children, and they are more likely to have troublesin
school· Such as being truant, dopping out of school· Heing related
to juvenile delinquency, criminal behavior and mentalillness, As the
psychologist Steven Asher says, “Disliked children are at
risk·”
Other reasons for such peremptory rejections are children's favor
of attractive people, and disfavor of an unpopular ethnicor religious
background, a physical disability or uncommon first name· School
grades is also an cause for rejection: childrenwho lag behind the
rest of a class or far ahead of the class are apt to be refused·
The effort psychologists make to find ways of helping children
make friends is aimed at improving social skills· The use ofpuppets
to teach preschoolers simple social skills reports successes on
training· Some psychologists recommend a solutionthat social skills
be made a formal part of the preschool curriculum·

Psychologists estimate that five to ten percent of the children
in elementary school classes are without friends and are actively
disliked· Sociometric analysis reveals that most children are liked
by at least a couple of children in their classes andare not
particularly disliked by any of the children·
Most of the remaining children are divided into three categories:
popular,neglected and rejected children· Popuylar children are those
that many children like and no one dislikes· They are generally doing
well in school, happy and well－adjusted· Neglected children are
neither particularly well liked or disliked· The rejectedchildren
are those who are on no one's like list but on several people's
dislike list·
Rejected children are cut off from an important source of
pleasure and learning opportunities· They are lonelier, have
lowerself－esteem and are less happy than more－popular youngsters·
Life is hard for young denied children· it oftengets harderas they
grow older· They are more likely to have troubles in school,· Such
as being truant, dopping out of school, being related to juvenile
deliquency, criminal behavior and mental illness· As the psycholog
ist Steven Asher says, “There are a number ofstudies that point to
a link between early rejection and later problems· Disliked children
are at risk·”
Children are eventually rejected for they behave like bullies·
They inslt, hit, push and threaten other boys, try to keepothers
from joining in and make contentious tatements· Sometimes the
inappropriate hehavior of dealing with particular situationssimply
get them into troubles· Misinterpreted certa in kinds of behavior
may be a short fuse for rejection too: children whocanno
t tell honest play from assault, or friendly teasing from insults,
are apt to get into trouble socially· Other reasonsfor such
peremptory rejections are children's favor of attractive people,
and disfavor of an unpopular ethnic of attractive people, and
disfavor of an unpopular ehtnic of religious background, a physical
disability or uncommon first name· Schoolgrades is also an cause
for rejection: children who lag behind the rest of a class or far
ahead of the class are apt to berefused·
The effort psychologists make to find ways of helping children
make friends is aimed at improving social skills· The use ofpuppets
by researchers to teach preschoolers simple social skills reports
successes on training· There was no immediate improvementhow others
felt about them, because biases still are the main stumbling block
to overcoming rejection· Some psychologist are commend a solution
that social skills be made a formal part of the prechool curriculum·

The sociometic analysis made by psychologists shows that most
primary school students can be divided into four levels: ordinary,
popular, neglected, and rejected children· A majority of kids are
liked by at least a number of classmates and are not particularly
disliked by any· Popular ones are those generally expressing well,
delighted, normally adjusted and those that none dislikes·In
contrast, neglected juvenility often lose special attention from
the group· Being extremely disgusted, the rejected childrenlack
popularity and companions for prolonged periods·
Children without friends run short of an important source of
pleasure and learning opportunities· Unaccepted kids are lonelier,
unhappier, have lower self－respect than the more－popular youngsters·
As the psychological expert Steven Asher says,“ Dislikedchildren are
at risk·” They are more likely to have troubles in school· For
example, heing lazy, dropping out of school,
committingjuvenile delinquency and criminal behavior, and furthermore,
being distressed by mental illness· In fact, life is difficultfor
young denied children, it frequently becomes harder as they grow
older·
Youths are eventually declined for four main reasons· First,
they behavelike bullies· They do harm to other boys, keep others
from participation, and make quarrelsome debates· Second, sometimes
misunderstanding other reaction, as well as inappropriateconduct of
situations, will simplely get them into troubles· In other words,
those who cannot distinguish honest play from assault, or who cannot
tell friendly teasing from insults, are apt to result in rejection·
Next, other reasons for such absoluterefusal may be children's favor
of attractive people and their discrimination of one's uncommon back
ground and physical disability·Finally, school grads are also an
cause for unaccep tance· Kids who fall behind the rest of the class
or far ahead of it areeasily refused·
The effort psychologists make to seek ways of helping children
make friends is focused on improving social skills· They even
suggest a solution that communicating techniques be included in
one part of the preparatory courses·
It reports successeson researcher's training preschoolers simple
skills by using puppets· However, thers is no immediate improvement
because prejudices are still the chief obstacle of withdrawing
refusal· Therefore, the conclusion reveals that kids can be changed
with aid,but it may not vary how peers treat them·(END)
