Attempts but Not to

sions: Among girls, being bullied or bullying others are both potential risk factors for suicidal behavior. Psychiatric assess-ment and treatment should thus be considered not only for victims of bullying, but also for bullies. Suicide-prevention programs should also routinely include interventions to re-duce bullying. However, the generalization of our findings to all adolescents is limited because our study sample con-sisted of psychiatric adolescent patients. In addition, some of the possible findings might have remained statistically in-significant due to the small sample size among adolescents who had performed suicide attempts or self-mutilation.
