According to reports, the data recently released by the Korea Statistics Office shows that the suicide rate of Korean teenagers aged 20 10- 19 is 4.9 (per 65,438+million population, the same below), which is 16.5% higher than that of 20 15 years (4.2). Since 20 1 1, the overall suicide rate in Korean society has been decreasing year by year, but the suicide rate of teenagers over 10 has not decreased, which is thought-provoking. According to the report, in recent years, a large number of suicide-related plots have appeared in Korean TV dramas and cartoons, which is one of the culprits of the rising suicide rate among Korean teenagers.
Nearly 70% of TV plays have suicide scenes.
Last year, there were 28.7 suicides per 65,438+10,000 people in South Korea, far exceeding the second-ranked Japan (18.7). According to statistics, from August of 20 15 to August of last year, among the 70 TV dramas broadcast on 912 every night, 48 TV dramas (68.5%) had suicide scenes. It has been pointed out that the high frequency of suicide scenes in TV dramas and cartoons will make teenagers have the illusion that suicide is also a choice in life.

A professor at Korea University said that from the perspective of suicide means, most teenagers try to commit suicide through simple self-harm. In recent years, with the development of the media industry, the cases of teenagers using gas and jumping off buildings to commit suicide are increasing.

Class solidification is serious, and teenagers are desperate.
It is reported that the suicide rate of young people in South Korea remains high, and some analysts say that it is mainly caused by excessive social pressure and serious class solidification in South Korea.
The president of the Korea Youth Activities Association said that in recent years, the pressure of study and life of people aged 10 has increased significantly, and the youth unemployment rate has been rising all the way. The era of "excellent grades and secure employment" has long passed, and the "expected income" of young people in their studies has declined. Even if teenagers have excellent academic performance, it is difficult to ensure that they can survive in the fierce social competition in the future, and the "motivation" to gain social recognition through hard work gradually disappears. The director of the Institute of Suicide and Students' Mental Health said that the society and future in the eyes of Korean teenagers are desperate now.
In addition, family problems are also one of the main causes of suicide among Korean teenagers. The family, which was originally designed to protect the healthy growth of teenagers, failed to perform its original duties for some reasons, resulting in the lack of family care during the growth of teenagers. Some people think that due to the long-term economic downturn, the divorce rate remains high, the number of single-parent families and families with divorced parents in Korea is rising, and the family environment needed for the healthy growth of teenagers is gradually disappearing.
It seems that the content of film and television dramas will really affect the outlook on life.
