["I non-exist". Paradoxes of death in adolescence].
This text presents, from the case study of the analytical treatment of a young girl after a very serious suicide attempt, a theoretical reflection on the question of death during adolescence and its place and function in the psyche. The hypothesis suggested is that resorting to the "idea of death" constitutes an attempt to neutralise the excitement created by the excess of representational activities. A parallel is suggested between the way death and pain are used as a protective shield.
