Plan BSuicide is a problem for students in today’s high schools. It would be helpful if high school counselors had a more valid means of determining which students are at risk for suicide. The identification of personality traits and behaviors prevalent in individuals with suicidal tendencies, therefore, is needed. This paper reviews the literature to determine whether certain personality traits and other factors are related to depression and/or suicidal ideation in adolescents. One personality trait, high self-monitoring, was found to be linked to high self-esteem. The paper will conclude with a critical analysis of the existing literature related to personality traits, depression, and suicide in the adolescent population
