This article tackles the issue of reconstructing the circumstances of suicides committed among adolescents aged 14,15 and 17, on the basis of analysis of good-bye letters and the discourse of life stories of individual cases. The presented research procedure focuses on capturing linguistic categories conveyed within the statements of young suicides’ good-bye letters. Abstracting adequate linguistic categories from the entire content has been combined with analysis of their meaningfulness and context in entire statement, hence enabling reconstruction of the interpretation applied by the young suicides while perceiving themselves and the reality around. The methodology implied model of hermeneutic analysis of statements with additional usage of categorizing affiliation method. Conclusions from the research are of practical value, contributing to the issues of early prevention under circumstances of suicidal behaviour, constituting relevant source of practical knowledge for teachers and tutors. The research into young suicide’s statements provides material which may in its practical dimension establish aspects crucial for school discussions facilitating expressions of own interpretation and judgments, as well as making teachers aware of various signals sent out by the pupils. The research results embrace linguistic categories expressed in letters, with presentation of their description and the context. Concurrently those constitute clear information about inadequate ways of interpreting the reality, additionally revealing number of similarities in communication patterns among the suicides.
