Abstract

The present investigation, whose title is "Suicide as a response to the failure of subjective resources in adolescence: Romanticization of death in contemporary times" aimed to analyze the relationship between the romanticization of death, from social discourse, and suicide as a possible contemporary response to the reality of the crisis of adolescence, through a case study, whose purpose was to show the consequences that the influence of digital media has on subjectivity of the teenagers. Regarding the methodological framework, it is through a qualitative approach and with a hermeneutic, descriptive and exploratory nature where the previously mentioned problem was deepen. Techniques such as documentary analysis based on psychoanalytic theory, a documented case study and three structured interviews with professionals were use, which allowed corroborating, through their professional experience, the influence of digital media on the romanticization of death and the increase in cases of adolescent suicides in the contemporaneity. In conclusion, it was possible to observe that adolescence is a period of restructuring where adolescents question themselves about being, how to be and the Other. Faced with this questioning, the crises of adolescence are founded and, in many cases, the absence of answers. Thus, digital media have managed to romanticize death, making it possible for it to become a possible response for adolescents.
