韩国自杀问题的原因经常被归结为人们为获得更好的教育、工作、外貌、甚至婚姻而一生都感受到竞争压力。值得警惕的是,尽管发达国家总体自杀率正在下降,但韩国统计局的最新数据显示2011年韩国15-24岁人口的自杀率从2001年的10万分之7.7上升至10万分之13。
Experts say South Korean teens often lack access to professional help or are reluctant to seek it out. One in four of the recent survey respondents said they have no-one to talk to when they're going through hard times. Almost half said they turn to friends instead of teachers, counselors or parents.
专家们指出,韩国青少年经常缺少获得专业帮助的途径或不愿向外界寻求帮助。这次调查中有四分之一的受访者表示,他们在遇到困难时没有人可以倾诉。有将近半数的受访者表示他们会求助于朋友,而不是老师、咨询师或父母。
Kim Eun-young, a counselor who has researched and worked with suicidal teenagers since 2007 at the Korea Youth Counseling & Welfare Institute, says young people are more open talking about their suicidal thoughts than before. But because teenagers tend to use vague expressions such as 'what if I disappear one day?' or 'I feel like not waking up in the morning,' parents or friends often overlook the underlying problems by saying 'it's nothing' or 'toughen up.'
韩国青年咨询及福利研究院(Korea Youth Counseling & Welfare Institute)的咨询师Kim Eun-young自2007年以来一直研究并接触自杀青少年。Kim说,与过去相比,青年人现在更加坦率地谈论自杀想法。但由于青少年总会使用诸如“如果有一天我从世界上消失了会怎么样”以及“我不想清晨再醒过来”等模糊的表达方式,父母和朋友经常会忽视潜在的问题,只是说“这没什么”或“坚强起来”。
