This article presents the argumentative strategies that explain juvenile suicide, its characteristics and possible forms of prevention based on the compilation, reading and analysis of the transversal content of publications from four groups: healthcare professionals, sociologists, existential philosophers and theologians who have written about the theme from 1990 to 2011. It analyzes the relevance of the risk factors as an explanatory matrix and questions the effectiveness of this matrix for operationalizing timely and quality social and healthcare services.
