More than one million people are practicing suicide around the world, which makes it a significant public health problem. Thus, suicide practice is one of the three most common causes of death among economically productive age groups (15-44 years), and the second cause of death in groups aged 15 to 19 years. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to conduct a Literature Review on Suicide in Childhood in the last 10 years, taking into account the relevance of such publications. For this, in addition to researching articles on the subject, will be used books that deal with the subject, with the purpose of broadening the discussion. In this way, this work can help in the theoretical understanding of suicide and help in the combat to this frequent practice. In view of the above, what is clear is that the issue of child suicide is surrounded by several psychosocial aspects that require the attention of professionals trained to deal with such situation. From this research it was possible to analyze the magnitude of suicide, and how complex the especially in the case of suicide in children. It was found that talking about suicide is a delicate matter, since this topic is still studied and understood as a taboo that causes fear and anxiety in society.
