Background: Suicide is a significant issue among teenagers. Suicide is now assumed the third leading cause of death among 15 to 44 aged groups in many region of the world and second leading cause of death among 10 to 24 years of age people. Suicide is the leading cause of death for adolescents in the globe and the rates of suicide are increasing fast in teenagers as compared to other age groups. Study Design: It’s a cross sectional Prospective study. Material and Method: The medico legal Post­Mortem Examinations were conducted on the victims of suicides in the age group of thirteen to eighteen years in one year beginning from January to December. Data were collected from the Inquest, Panch­nama of the scene of offence, hospital records, suicide notes and information gathered by personal enquiry with the relatives. Observation and Discussion: Total 117 no cases were included in the study, and out this 34.2% were Males and 65.8%were of Females. In females 27 cases came from semi­urban areas, 18 cases belong to rural and 12 from urban areas, whereas in Males 14 cases belong to Rural, 10 cases from urban and only 5 cases from semi­urban areas. 63 cases among females and 34 cases among Males reported to have no history of previous attempt of suicide, whereas 5 cases among females and 2 cases among males have the history of previous unsuccessful attempt of suicide. People with low suicidal intention may end up in completed suicide because of using more lethal methods, inadequate treatment and delay in seeking treatment. This aspect of suicidal behaviour points to lack of clarity in the differentiation of definitions of suicide and attempted suicide. Due emphasis should be given on the intention, lethality and rescuability in killing oneself to differentiate between attempters and completers. Conclusion: The prevalence of suicide in India is high and is influenced by a variety of factors, such as, social, biological, psychological and environmental factors. There is a need of thorough research to determine the determinants of suicide among teenagers and adolescents, in order to develop wide­ranging intervention strategies to prevent suicide.
