youth suicide
Young person's ending
Youth suicide is the act of intentionally ending one's own life during childhood or adolescence, typically before age 25.
The term appears frequently in public health contexts discussing prevention, risk factors, and intervention: Youth suicide rates have risen sharply in the past decade.
Unlike the clinical term "adolescent suicide," youth suicide encompasses a broader age range and carries a more accessible, policy-oriented tone.
