Answer to Question 1

B
Poor self-concept and depression contribute significantly to suicidal behaviors. Children as young as 3 years of age who have attempted suicide have been evaluated and found to be cognizant of their actions. It is common for suicide to occur in a cluster within a community (e.g., schools). Males have a higher incidence of both suicide attempts and completed suicides.

Answer to Question 2

D
During early to middle adolescence, children feel that they are exempt from the consequences of risk-taking behaviors: they believe negative consequences happen only to others. Impressing peers is more typically the factor influencing behavior of older school-age children. Mastering the environment is the task of young school-age children. Emancipation is a major issue for the older adolescent. The process is accomplished as the teenager gains an education or vocational training.
