RESUMO
O estudo descreve as razões de tentativas suicidas em adolescentes, analisando sua repercussão no contexto familiar e social sob o prisma antropológico. Foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa e a etnografia como método. Os participantes do estudo foram doze adolescentes, admitidos em um hospital de emergência, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, por tentativa de suicídio por qualquer mecanismo. Realizou-se no período de março a agosto de 2005. Os resultados evidenciaram como razão primaz o amor não correspondido, tendo esse amor conotação afetiva, de namoro, de caso, da primeira entrega; contudo, não foi só nesse sentido que o "amor não correspondido" foi mencionado. Este também foi aludido quanto ao relacionamento familiar, ao carinho, à valorização da pessoa do adolescente. Neste contexto, revelou-se também a inabilidade do profissional de saúde diante desses casos, sendo necessária a ressignificação da práxis. Dessa forma, o suicídio está presente na adolescência e suscita um redirecionamento das práticas de saúde na consolidação dos princípios filosóficos e operacionais do SUS, demandando que a sociedade "abrace" as políticas que valorizam a vida.

The study was conducted during the period of March to August, 2005 using a qualitative approach and ethnography as methods. The participants of this study were 12 teenagers, assisted in an emergency hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará State, Brazil, for suicide attempt using any kind of mechanisms. As shown in the experiment's result, the main reason of the attempts was a broken heart, this as a reason of dating someone and others love relationship established between two persons. Not only broken heart was mentioned, there were also cases of problems with family bonds, the affection and the lack of attention to the individual adolescent. In this context, the inability of the health professional was very clear. Under the presented circumstances, the professional must come up with a new praxis approach. The suicide is a real fact present at the teenagers' life and it is necessary to redirect the Brazilian Unified Health System´s philosophy and operational principles of the way health professionals cope with this demanding the society to embrace the politics that cares for the human being life and wellness.
