Present Situation and Reasons for Japanese Minors' Suicide

自杀者的日趋低龄化已成为世界性问题，特别是未成年人自杀问题尤为引人关注。对于少子化日益严重的日本来说，未成年人自杀现状令人堪忧。日本未成年人自杀是由多种原因引发的复杂社会现象。崇尚自杀的文化传统、自杀盛行的社会环境、层出不穷的校园问题、不良的家庭环境及日益严重的未成年人心理危机等是导致未成年人自杀的深层原因。近年来，随着少子化问题的加剧，日本未成年人自杀问题已成为不容忽视的社会问题之一。

That the ages of suicides have gradually become lower has turned into a worldwide problem, and the suicide of minors has especially attracted attention. As far as Japan where the low birth rate has been increasingly serious is concerned, the present situation of minors' suicide is worrying. Japanese minors' suicide is a complex social phenomenon. There are many deep reasons, such as the suicide-advocating cultural tradition, the social situation where suicides prevail, the endlessly-emerging campus problems, the bad family situations, the more and more serious psychological crises of minors. In recent years, with the aggravation of the low birth rate, the suicide of Japanese minors has become a social problem that cannot be ignored.
