Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Sociology, grade: 3.0, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (EDUCATION), course: GCE 816, language: English, abstract: This paper examined the issue of suicide ideation among Nigerian youths. Suicide ideation is an understudied risk factor for suicidal intent. The paper looked at meaning, types, causes and reasons of suicide, suicide ideation and it implication for counselling. It was recommended among others that government should establish industries to create job that can absorb more idle youths and jobless graduates since it seems that the vocational trainings are not yielding results and so on. Counselling against suicide ideation among Nigerian youths is very apt in this present era of economic challenges. The issue of suicide has become an epidemic world all over to the detriment of peaceful existence. This may be pointing to the fact that people are no longer happy about themselves and their environment. Cases of suicide are frightening in nature and cannot be wished to any human being. Nations are fighting to curb the menace and instill the culture of understanding among its citizens on challenges perceived as the major causes of suicide.
