One in 12 teens aged 15-19 have attempted suicide

The survey shows that, in general, girls were 'significantly more likely' than boys to report all negative outcomes.

One in 12 Irish teenagers aged 15-19 have attempted suicide in their lifetime, while more than a 10th have repeatedly self-harmed, a new report has found.

Self-harm rates are particularly on the rise among teenage girls, with an especially “worrying” rise also seen among trans and gender-diverse teenagers, as well as early school leavers.
