In recent years, suicides such as students jumping off buildings under pressure have occurred from time to time. It is understood that at least 30 million children and adolescents under the age of 0/7 in China are suffering from various emotional disorders and behavioral problems and are in a sub-health state. Every year, at least 250,000 teenagers lose their lives in the flower season due to psychological problems. Those primary and middle school students who tried to commit suicide once had the idea that "life is worse than death", and most parents knew nothing about it.
In addition to the above extreme psychological behaviors, there are also some manifestations of psychological problems that cannot be ignored. According to a document provided by the Mental Health Center of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, the prevalence rate of mental disorders among primary and secondary school students in China is 2 1.6%-32.0%, which shows problems in interpersonal relationship, emotional stability and learning adaptation. The prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children is only 3.37%-6.77%, and various psychological problems are on the rise.
These shocking events and figures make us have to face a serious social problem-the mental health problem of teenagers. Some psychiatrists said that the causes of psychological problems of teenagers are closely related to the negative effects of schools, families and society where teenagers live. Academic pressure, interpersonal relationship, emotional frustration, etc. Make the school the most likely place to cause psychological problems for teenagers. At the same time, some parents who can't bear social pressure will vent their emotions on their families, and children can easily become punching bags; On the other hand, worrying about their children's future makes many parents more strict with their children, but they lack warm family affection, which makes many teenagers feel inferior, empty and pessimistic. In addition, all kinds of film and television works, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet have exaggerated reports on celebrity suicides and other related topics, which have a negative impact on teenagers.
We must suit the remedy to the case and work together to solve the mental health problems of teenagers. To this end, it is suggested that:
First, focus on the construction of mental health counseling places for minors outside school. All localities should focus on building a team of full-time and part-time psychological counselors, open the "9611"hotline, and actively use various forms such as internet, telephone and lectures to carry out mental health education and psychological counseling.
Second, the preparation of adolescent mental health education materials. Incorporate psychological education textbooks into the daily teaching courses of primary and secondary schools, arrange special teachers to give good mental health classes, and institutionalize and regularize adolescent mental health education. At the same time, it is emphasized that school is the main channel of mental health education, and it is necessary to create a relaxed and comfortable environment for adolescent mental health education and determine the importance of mental health education from the system and concept.
Third, create an atmosphere of concern and concern for the whole society. The whole society and families must pay attention to the healthy psychological growth of teenagers. Parents are important influencers of students' growth and development, and their understanding and concept of mental health education will directly affect the development of students' mental health and the development of school mental health education. Parents should adjust their psychological state in time, solve their children's psychological problems in time, do not transfer social pressure and work pressure to their children, create a harmonious family atmosphere, and give full play to the function of family education. The society should establish a psychological service network, and the government should continue to insist on bringing mental health education and prevention and treatment of mental diseases into the public health system, and pay more attention to it from the aspects of capital and facilities investment.
