ChildLine have today released a new report which reveals a huge increase in the amount of consultations related to suicide since 2010/11, with 34,000 taking place in 2013/14.
Young people need support
The NSPCC also revealed that most of the children involved in these talks were between the ages of 12 and 15.
One 17-year-old girl spoke to BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her experiences of being bullied in school, which led to her attempting to take her own life.
"I felt alone and isolated - I wasn't happy because the bullying followed me everywhere and I didn't really have an escape," she explained.
"I thought: 'What's the point in being alive if nobody likes me?'. I thought: 'Why am I still here? We're all going to die anyway, so does it really matter if I go now?'."
The anonymous teen is now getting help from counsellors.
Journalist and founder of ChildLine Esther Rantzen commented: "We must learn from what they are telling us, and persuade them not to feel fearful or ashamed to tell others of their feelings.
"The first step is to make sure that young people have sufficient support around them. And so our report offers a wealth of guidance to parents, carers and professionals on where to seek help and how to open up these critical conversations with young people."
With the government recently announcing that internet trolls who engage in severe online abuse could be jailed for up to two years, critics believe there's still not enough preventative measures being taken in schools and at home to help stamp out the problem.
Co-Founder of Digital Awareness UK Emma Robertson explained: "Children don't just want to talk to adults about how they suffer from sexting, trolling and cyber bulling, they want to see that it's being taken seriously and something can be done about it. Getting online safety on the national curriculum to ensure schools are equipped to advise young people on how to deal with social-media related problems is key. Implementing strict penalties at school, at home and through law enforcements in sever cases of online abuse is also crucial.
We're seeing a shocking increase in the volume of children talking to us about how online abuse is having catastrophic effects on their health and wellbeing. The sharp rise in mental health issues such as anxiety, isolation, lack of confidence etc. will have tremendous effects on how they develop as adults, and all these problems are intensified in an online environment."
