Abstract
This study investigated the perceptions of adolescents concerning the relat ionship between chronic peer abuse and suicidal behaviour. The major thesis is that chronic peer abuse is an additional risk for adolescent suicidal b ehaviour. The results of the study upheld this contention and added a surpr ising component in that bystander perceptions supported victims' views.
