This study analyzes the “sick-lit” narrative phenomenon, a story writing genre rooted in self-harm and suicide, which seems to be gaining remarkable popularity amongst adolescents. This success is a symptom of young people’s need to address the issue of death. The qualitative research was composed of two parts: the first explored the ambivalent representation of sick-lit on the internet, where two opposing factions argue about its educative usefulness vs. its potentially dangerous copycat effect. The second part investigated six novels and their representations of self-harm, death, sufferance and suicide. The analysis confuted the idea that sick-lit may be a positive instrument for making adolescents aware of mortality and showed the need to transform the Werther risk effect into the Papageno possibility by exploring the content of these books with adolescents in death education courses.

The article outlines several threads of suicide-related issues in sociological and media studies. The first two parts focus on a more theoretical presentation of the topic: current analysis and statistical problems, theoretical perspectives and media effects in the context of suicide. The next parts, however, take up the threads more practically and show how to improve the construction of journalistic materials and how to prevent suicide every day.

Artykuł zarysowuje kilka wątków problematyki samobójstw na gruncie socjologicznym i medioznawczym. Dwie pierwsze części skupiają się na bardziej teoretycznym przedstawieniu tematu: aktualnych statystyk i problemów statystycznych oraz perspektyw teoretyczno-badawczych i efektów medialnych przekazów w kontekście samobójstw. Kolejne części podejmują natomiast wątki praktycznie i wskazują, jak poprawnie konstruować materiały dziennikarskie oraz jak zapobiegać samobójstwom każdego dnia.
