Rates of self-harm and suicide among children and teens are on the rise. Suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death among adolecents. While students who self-harm don’t always attempt suicide, they are up to 3.5 times more likely to.
The journey to self-harming and suicidal behavior does not happen all at once. Students often leave clues about their thoughts and actions online. Activity that indicates self-harm and thoughts of suicide include internet searches, social media activity. Students also often write about their thoughts and intentions in documents and emails. And they upload images to cloud-based drives, like Google Drive, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
As schools increasingly use G Suite and Office 365 for class, students are becoming more accustomed to using them as both school and personal spaces. When self-harm and/or suicidal ideation behavior is taking place on school accounts, districts have a responsibility to act on it. Many put processes in place to alert school counselors and/or building officials to ensure students get the support they need.
