Abstract :
Suicide as a 2nd leading cause of death among
adolescents has become a public health urgency

which starts with thoughts of ending one’s life (suicidal
ideation). The purpose of this study is to find the incidence
of high level of suicidal ideation among adolescent
students in general and male and female adolescents in
particular. 2250 adolescent students studying in different
government higher secondary schools of district

sample for the study using stratified random sampling
technique. The tool employed for assessing the incidence
of high level of suicidal ideation was The Suicidal Ideation
Scale developed by Dr. Devendre Sing Sisoda and Dr.
Vibhuti Bhatnagar (2011). For analyzing the data

6.48% of the respondents were having high suicidal
ideation and moreover female adolescent students were
