SINGAPORE - Apart from facing more stress, teenagers in Singapore who have attempted suicide are more likely than their peers to perceive their parents as aggressive, neglectful and cold, a recent study has found.
Their parents, however, were less likely than their children to think that they had been neglectful parents, according to the study, which compared the perceptions of 60 teenagers who have attempted suicide with those of their parents or main caregivers.
