=Social Media Risks= Social media is a relatively new phenomenon that has swept the world during the past decade.There is increasing evidence that the Internet and social media can influence suicide-related behavior.Suicide is a considerable public health problem; more than 30,000 suicide deaths in the United States and nearly 1 million suicide deaths worldwide occur every year. The role that the Internet, particularly social media, might have in suicide-related behavior is a topic of growing interest. We will discuss on how social media will have a influence on suicide related behavior.

Impact of pro-suicidal sites, message boards, chat rooms and forums
Social media platforms, such as chat rooms, blogging Web sites (e.g., Blogspot), video sites (e.g., YouTube), social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Google+), as well as e-mail, text messaging, and video chat, have transformed traditional methods of communication by allowing the instantaneous and interactive sharing of information created and controlled by individuals, groups, organizations, and governments. As of the third quarter of 2015, Facebook had 1.55 billion monthly active users. An immense quantity of information on the topic of suicide is available on the Internet and via social media.Biddle et al. conducted a systematic Web search of 12 suicide-associated terms (e.g., suicide, suicide methods, how to kill yourself, and best suicide methods) to analyze the search results and found that Pro-suicide sites and chat rooms that discussed general issues associated with suicide most often occurred within the first few hits of a search.Recupero et al. also conducted a study that examined suicide-related sites that can be found using Internet search engines. Of 373 Web site hits, 31% were suicide neutral, 29% were antisuicide, and 11% were prosuicide. Together, these studies have shown that obtaining prosuicide information on the Internet, including detailed information on suicide methods, is very easy.
