Introduction
Suicide among adolescents remains a fundamental and pressing problem that requires urgent action to save more lives. This study includes the main factors that can influence the decision to commit suicide, the reasons leading to such thoughts, a survey reflecting the number of intimidated schoolchildren, and recommendations for a solution. However, in order to better communicate the research to the audience, it is necessary to take several activities to review the dissemination plan.
The Audience
First of all, this study is intended to attract those in whose power it is possible to influence adolescents. It includes school staff, including teachers, management, and child psychologists. Secondly, these are the parents of schoolchildren, from whom the victims of bullying also hide all their emotions and experiences. Finally, it is a group of researchers, psychologists, activists whose programs can be initiated at school for preventive purposes. The effectiveness of this study depends entirely on the distribution of the influence of the above people on each adolescent.
This study does not seek the attention of adolescents themselves. Firstly, it is written in academic language, which is rather tricky for schoolchildren to perceive (Prediger & Zindel, 2017). Secondly, very rarely are adolescents able to understand themselves against the background of troubles that lead to thoughts of suicide. It requires urgent but delicate help from the experts for whom this study is being developed.
The practice settings reflect the study’s recommendations – it requires increased scrolling of adolescents in schools for possible threats that lead to suicide. Two reasons dictate the mandatory involvement of parents in such events. First, the child is always dependent on them, on their behavior, mood, statements, and actions (Hazen et al., 2021). Secondly, sometimes the parents themselves are the cause of suicidal thoughts in the child. Therefore external intervention in family relations – this is a very delicate issue – is needed since it endangers the lives of children.
End-user Needs
The data should be presented in scientific articles, accompanied by a graphic representation of the survey results and a table of possible solutions. Further work involves developing a unified method for scrolling in schools and the use of the practice of involving parents in the issue. New scientific works in this area constantly support the theoretical basis of the research. After a certain period, a review of new literature is carried out. Practical instructions for action in schools are also written in a formal language to preserve all the legal rights of both parties and the object of study.
The specific needs of the audience, based on practice, are either already known or have to be clarified in the practice of this study. The object of the research is schoolchildren who have their own children’s specific behavior. In practice, one main problem most often stands out – the silence about bullying and bullies due to shyness or fear of revenge (Royne et al., 2017). Therefore, practical activities aimed at continuing the study should consider the already known list of problems and have constant control, assessing the data obtained to identify new similar problems.
Publications and Presentations
The Journal of Psychology and Brain Studies and the Journal of Psychological Abnormalities often cover the problem of this research in their issues, and their articles are medical. However, there is also a social aspect in this problem, which describes the causes of suicidal tendencies, while medicine already describes the consequences. Therefore, more suitable journals for publication are the Journal of Adolescence and Child & Adolescent Psychology, in which social factors are considered in the foreground and psychological ones.
It is necessary to attend many upcoming conferences of a general scientific direction – child psychology – but on different topics to cover more information for expanding the research. For example, the Mental Wellness and Positive Mental Health Conference, held in July in Toronto, will help to understand the determinants of positive dynamics of thoughts and emotions. This conference is required to collect information about the social factors that cause the development of suicidal tendencies.
The School, Educational and Child Psychology Conference, taking place in August in New York, will highlight the application of research practice methods in the educational environment. Furthermore, again, it is necessary to raise such sensitive issues as bullying, cyberbullying, the impact of psychological problems on student performance, and all kinds of stressful conditions in education. Finally, a medical look at the knowledge gained about the causes will be possible at the Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology Conference, taking place in Los Angeles at the end of October.
Conclusion
The study will develop its main directions, saturate them with experience in related fields and similar works, and evaluate the experience gained from conferences or feedback from publications. Practical integration into schools is mandatory since individual cases will help identify trends and, accordingly, methods of dealing with the causes leading to suicide. This audience analysis is an integral part of the research, helping to trace the chain of people needed to complete the assigned tasks and determine the channels and language used to achieve the best result.
