[Attempts at suicide among girls].
Suicides represent one of the main medico-social problems in Bulgaria. Every day three lives are lost because of suicide in our country. The authors present information on the attempted suicide among young girls from an epidemiological study, provided in 1995. It was found out that the leading motives for suicidal behaviour were the conflicts in the family between the girls and their parents. These conflicts induce fear from punishment, getting sometimes to mishandling. Another part of the suicide attempts were directed to draw their parent's attention, even to bring together separated parents. The frequent cases of premature sexual connections and of sexual misure are discussed. Attention is turned to the group suicide attempts among girl-friends and sister. The authors draw inferences on the necessity of directing the primary prevention among the young girls toward the achievement of mental stability, self-recognition and building up social competence.
