Addressing The Concern of Copycat Suicide Among Indonesian Students

The problem of copycat suicide among Indonesian students is becoming a big worry. There are reports of young people thinking about suicide or trying to hurt themselves. Things like feeling sad, problems at home, not doing well in personal goals, and being lonely are some reasons why they might feel this way. It's concerning that many young people keep these thoughts to themselves because talking about suicide is not common in Indonesia. Copycat suicides, where someone does what they saw or heard about in the media, make the situation worse. Research shows that being exposed to such stories early on increases the chances of trying suicide as an adult. Since there's not enough national information about youth suicide in Indonesia, we need programs that can prevent suicide and bring back hotlines for help. The media plays a big role too. They need to report responsibly because sharing news irresponsibly can lead to more copycat suicides. In conclusion, the problem of copycat suicide among Indonesian students is a big and complicated issue. It needs urgent attention and a complete plan to help. We must deal with the reasons why young people feel this way, like mental health problems, family issues, and people looking down on them. Also, the media needs to report carefully, following guidelines to stop more copycat suicides. By talking openly, providing help, and having good prevention plans, Indonesia can create a safer and more supportive place for its young people, lowering the chances of copycat suicide and saving lives.
