According to the WHO, there are seven key aspects in identifying students at risk of mental and social distress who may harbor suicidal thoughts that ultimately lead to suicidal behaviors:

• Lack of interest in daily activities, and this represents a change in their previous behavior.
• A general decline in ratings.
• A decrease in effort.
• Inappropriate behavior in class
• Unexplained, repeated absences or absences without permission
• Excessive consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or other addictive substances.
• To be involved in incidents that incite student violence
