The purpose of the study was to explore the association among suicidal ideation, cyber addiction, and school bullying of Korean high school students. This descriptive cross-sectional study included 416 students. The data were collected using structured questionnaires on suicidal ideation, Internet and smartphone addiction, experiences of school bullying, impulsiveness, and depression. Students who were bullied (odds ratio [ OR] = 3.0, 95% CI [1.1, 8.4]) and more depressed ( OR = 10.8, 95% CI [2.4, 48.2]) were more likely to have higher scores for suicidal ideation; however, when a lower stringency was used, female gender ( OR = 2.3, 95% CI [1.3, 4.0]) and addiction to smartphones ( OR = 2.4, 95% CI [1.1, 5.4]) were also statistically significant contributors to the presence of suicidal ideation. Students with suicidal ideation that is higher than average, but lower than the classical thresholds for risk group designation, should also be carefully assessed for early detection and intervention. Cyber addiction may be a particularly significant contributor to suicidal ideation, in addition to bullying and depressive mood, among Korean adolescents.

This study examined the associations between co-occurring cyberbullying and school bullying victimization with poor self-rated mental health, psychological distress, and suicidal ideation and attempts among 4,886 Canadian students in Grades 7–12 and tested whether these associations differed between middle and high school students. There are 12.2% of students who were victims of both cyberbullying and school bullying. After adjusting for covariates, victims of both cyberbullying and school bullying presented the highest odds of poor self-rated mental health (odds ratio [OR] = 5.02; 95% CI [3.75, 6.74]), psychological distress (OR = 5.91; 95% CI [4.38, 7.96]), and suicidal ideation (OR = 6.17; 95% CI [4.44, 8.56]) and attempts (OR = 7.68; 95% CI [3.95, 14.93]). These associations were stronger among middle-school youth than their high school counterparts. Results suggest that victims of both cyberbullying and school bullying may constitute the most vulnerable group and that there is a need for intervention programs addressing both forms of bullying simultaneously, particularly among middle school students.

The study aimed to understand the reporting rate of suicidal ideation and its health-related factors in 1,378 high school students in rural China. These students were recruited from two high schools in Lijin County, Shandong Province, China by using a stratified random cluster sampling method. Overall, 13.5% of the sample reported having suicidal ideation in the past year, and there was no significant difference between boys and girls in reporting rate of suicidal ideation. Nightmares, physical activity, and sleep duration as well as family environment, paternal education, and mental heath status were significantly associated with suicidal ideation. More efforts for these factors should be considered in suicide prevention for high school students in rural China.

(1) Background: Problematic smartphone use in adolescents has become a major concern among parents and educators. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with, and the predictors of, low, average, and high perceived academic performance (PAP). (2) Methods: Descriptive and comparative analyses were employed in this cross-sectional study among 3374 Filipino high school students through an online Google forms survey. (3) Results: We found that age, grade level, father’s education, time spent daily on weekends, frequency of use on weekdays, purpose of use, nomophobia (NMP), and smartphone addiction (SA) were significantly associated with low PAP, while frequency of use on weekends and type of internet access had a significant association with high PAP. Gender was a significant predictor of low, average, and high PAP. Father’s education and SA were also significant predictors for both low and average PAP. (4) Conclusions: This study shows the significant association between personal profiles, family environment, patterns of smartphone use, NMP, and SA contributing to a significant impact on Filipino high school students’ PAP. This suggests that proper guidelines for smartphone use should be provided at home and in school settings to raise awareness of the adverse effects of SA on students’ academic performance.

Introduction: Nicotinism is of world-wide growing concern among adolescents. The goal is to describe the epidemiological aspects of nicotinism among Antananarivo suburban high school students. Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study conducted in 2015 through a cluster sampling. A standardised, anonymous self-completion questionnaire was given to 903 high school students. Results: We enrolled 901 students. The prevalence of students who experimented with tobacco use was 46.3% next to 11.7% of active smokers . Among active smokers, 47.6% were non-dependent, 14.3% slightly dependent, 29.5% moderately dependent and 6.7% strongly dependent on tobacco. The motive of 70.3% of smokers was to test tobacco. Among former smokers 72.7% stoped smoking for fear of the drawbacks of tobacco-related diseases. Fear of heart disease (p = 0.004) and cancer (p = 0.008) was significantly associated with non-smoking status. Female gender (p = 0.000, OR 0.261 [0.164-0.415], 95% IC) and having been informed on tobacco consequences (p = 0.003, OR 0.401 [0.213-0.753, 95% IC] were protecting factors against tobacco use. The existence of a smoking circle was a risk factor of being a smoker: close friend (p = 0.000, OR 2,677 [2,027-3,534], 95% IC), cousin (p = 0.002, OR 1,529 [1,174-1,993], 95% IC), brother/sister (p = 0.023, OR 1,478 [1,054-2,072], 95% IC). Conclusion: The prevalence of nicotinism is significant despite the current prevention measures. The influence of the smoking circle and education are paramount. An active participation of nonsmokers adolescents in passing the message or raising awareness could improve the outcomes because they have influence on their peers.
