D
Low self-esteem and negative body image can be predictors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. High self-esteem would help a person cope with work failure. Stressful life events when balanced with positive issues, such as receipt of a scholarship, are less likely to induce depression. Suicidal tendencies are based more on the individual's frame of mind than on individual events such as health problems and developmental milestones.
