SUICIDE

Saya bebesar hati ingin berkongsi maklumat yang diperolehi semasa mengikuti Bengkel Mengenalpasti Pelajar Berisiko yang lalu.

Keperluan untuk menolong bukan sahaja perlu diletakkan di bahu Kaunselor, guru mahupun ibu bapa. Sesiapa sahaja yang mempunyai rasa dan nilai tanggungjawab terhadap individu lain wajar melihat masalah ini sebagai satu ujian bersama.

Antara tips yang boleh diberikan bagi mengenalpasti pelajar ataupun individu berisiko ini melalui Bengkel ini adalah:

1.Listen to their point of view. Put yourself in their shoes and see the world in their eyes. Ask them how it makes them feel.
Understand what makes them tick.
2.Accept them for who they are. Differentiate them as a person and their behavior. 3.Ask for the behavior to change but accept them as they are.
4.Acknowledge their presence. Look for their positives. Appreciate what they don’t do as well as what they do.
5.Give them space. Teens need privacy, not just in their bedroom but also in their thoughts. Avoid interrogation techniques and opt for genuine interest.
6.Recognize that teenagers must become independent in order to become adults, just as they had to learn to walk and talk to grow from infancy to childhood.
7.Listen to and with them. Lecturing, judging, scolding, and nagging hurt relationships. Talking and listening help.
