Attempted suicide is a situation in which a person intentionally harms themselves without the intervention of others. In fact, suicide is the only event in which a person is both the killer and the victim. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the underlying factors of suicidal tendencies or attempts among people aged 18 to 40 in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad.Keywords: Suicide attempt, problematic life, family and suicide, sacred canopy, foundation data. And it sought to answer these questions: How does an individual's life world affect their suicidal thoughts? What are the areas where people tend to attempt suicide? The research method is grounded theory, where we interviewed 14 people until theoretical saturation was reached. Finally, the collected data were coded and analyzed in the form of 5 major categories and one core category. The five main categories of the phrase: family and the phenomenon of suicide, suicide and the sacred canopy of traditional marriages, suicide for revenge and retaliation, romantic loneliness, and de-stigmatization of the issue of suicide are the areas of tendency to attempt suicide among the individuals studied. The core category, which includes other general categories, is the category of "The suicide trajectory from "problematic life" to "problematic suicide." The results of this study showed that social controls, along with factors such as violence and old traditions, lead to a feeling of helplessness in the individual and ultimately push people into the corridor of suicide. In fact, suicide is a social construct and the result of human interactions and actions in the face of unpleasant experiences, failures, and limitations.
