Abstract: The subject of the research is the child-parent relationships and negative emotional states of adolescents, in particular, their effect on suicidal risks. The authors consider in detail such aspects of the topic as family dysfunctions and anxiety, hopelessness and depression. The research involved teenagers (average age was 15 years). Anxiety, depression, and hopelessness combined with family dysfunctions are psychological risk factors and an internal irritant to induce suicidal behavior. The growth of both suicidal attempts and completed suicides among children and adolescents requires research in the theoretical and applied aspects. The following tests were used: “Child-parent relationship of adolescents” by O.A. Karabanova and P.V. Troyanovskaya, “The Anxiety Scale” by A. Beck, “The Hopelessness Scale” by A. Beck, and “The Scale of Depression” by A. Beck as well as methods of mathematical statistics. It is shown that suicidal risk is a complex multidimensional phenomenon,which to a certain extent is associated with such psychological factors as the emotional sphere of the adolescent's personality, negative emotional states, specifics of their relationships with the parents. The relation beteen the child-parent relationship and his or her parents and negative emotional states in adolescents has been determined. The influence of family dysfunctions on suicidal risks has been revealed which is reflected in the high level of anxiety, depression and hopelessness detected in adolescents.
