Abstract
In recent years, there have been cases of successful and unsuccessful suicides among university students, which have made widespread concern in the public minds, experts and academics because of the community's sensitivity to youth and university students. This article studies the contexts, causal, exacerbating conditions, interactions, and the consequences of suicide from the perspective of students who had experienced unsuccessful suicide. Based on theoretical and purposive sampling, ten students of Kharazmi University with unsuccessful suicide experience in recent years were selected and interviewed.
After analyzing the interviews and coding, different categories were developed: economic, social, and family disruptions as "Underlying Conditions", frustration, weakness, forced marriages, psychological stress, university differences with past expectations of students as "Causal Conditions", the gap generation, religious weakness, gender inequality, need to be considered as "Intervention condition", loneliness, labeling, avoidance and lack of support by others as "Common and Coping Strategies". Finally, for most survivors, negative consequences such as rejection and loss of social capital, physical and mental injuries, and ultimately unsuccessful return and repeated suicide attempts and for a minority of them successful return to social life were identified as possible outcomes. "core category" is best represented in the following statement: "Suicide is a personal response to frustrations, pressures, disruptions, and lack of support."

Abstract
The relationship between religion and suicide has long been studied by social scientists, especially sociologists. In the present article, by reviewing the theoretical and empirical literature in this field of study, at first, the mechanisms of relationship between the religion and suicide are explained and then the main hypothesis of the research was evaluated empirically with secondary data of Iran through an inter-country comparative analysis with the provincial analysis unit.
The findings of this study showed that the main hypothesis in sociological theoretical views that "religion has a protective or reducing effect against suicide" in the context of the Muslim community in Iran is also fully confirmed empirically. More precisely, when the effects of three influential variables on suicide at the systemic level, namely socio-economic development; Family integration, and social disorder were controlled; the net effect of religion on suicide in the provinces of Iran was significantly reduced, indicating the fact that religion had a significant protective effect on suicide. This finding fully indicates the net and independent effect of religion on suicide in the provinces of Iran and is an empirical support for the thesis that religion can play the role of a shield or protector against suicide by promoting coping with the suffering of life and thus, reduce the risk of suicide.

Abstract
Suicide is one of the social harms that has grown significantly in recent decades. The age of committing suicide has also decreased, and this problem has spread significantly among children and especially teenagers. Based on this, this article aims to recover the strengths and weaknesses of the researches and evaluate the practical suggestions presented by them with a qualitative approach and with a systematic review method of the studies that have been written so far in this field in order to determine the extent to which the problem of suicide can be reduced. They have been effective among children and teenagers and finally practical suggestions should be provided. For this purpose, after searching the databases and finding studies related to the subject of children and teenagers’ suicide, 83 study titles were included in the systematic review process. The results show that although a combination of individual, family, social, contextual and cultural factors affect the increase of thoughts and ideation and suicide attempts or its reduction in children and adolescents, despite this, most of the studies in this field consider suicide to be a psychological and individual problem. which is done as a result of a mental disorder and they have dealt with it with a psychoanalytical or psychiatric approach. The prevailing view of suicide is still as a psychological phenomenon rather than social and cultural.
