The Onset of Suicidal Ideation in Childhood and Adolescence.

Bolger, Niall; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v18 n2 p175-90 Apr 1989

The development of suicidal thoughts in children was studied, using life history data from 364 undergraduates. Results suggest that: many children and adolescents contemplate suicide, and those at increased risk of suicidal thought are also at increased risk of suicide. Examining suicidal ideation in non-clinical samples is discussed. (SLD)
