Suicide among adolescents has become a serious worldwide problem. With increasing competition, confusion and complexities in relationships, present day adolescents find it difficult to adjust to all the uncertainties of life. The purpose of this review is to understand the impact of parenting styles on adolescents’ suicide ideation. The prior researches provide evidence that suicide ideation is significantly related to authoritarian parenting, low parental warmth, over control, overprotection, negative family climate and not taking suicidal thoughts and attempts seriously. Authoritative parenting and positive family climate act as a buffer against developing suicide ideation among adolescents. Permissive and uninvolved parenting was associated with negative suicide ideation. Inadequate parenting styles are strongly associated with suicidality among adolescents both directly and indirectly due to their relation to other risk factors. The aim is to bring into light this important subject as India has one of the world’s highest suicide rates for youth.
