Adolescent suicide is a preventable tragedy yet is still the third leading cause of death in young
people of age 10-24. Contrary to the idea that childhood bullying is a normal part of growing up
or a rite of passage, it is now correlated with adolescent suicidality. An integrative review of the
contemporary, extant literature was conducted to examine the following question: Are
adolescents who have been involved in childhood bullying or cyberbullying as victim, offender,
at greater risk for suicidality than those who have not, and why.

Authors Mark Schaffer Sinyor and Amy H. Cheung argue that bullying has been identified as a
potential contributing factor in youth suicide. This issue has been highlighted in recent widely
publicized media reports, worldwide, in which deceased youth were bullied. We report on an
observational study conducted to determine the frequency of bullying as a contributing factor to
youth suicide. The study highlights the need to view suicide in youth as arising from a complex

interplay of various biological, psychological, and social factors of which bullying is only one. It
challenges simple cause-and-effect models that may suggest that suicide arises from any one
factor, such as bullying.
