The number of youths who committed suicide because of family problems increased nearly four times over the past five years, but schools seriously lack counseling staff to help such students before their death, a report showed Friday.

According to the report compiled by the Education Ministry at the request of Rep. Hwang Woo-yea, 54 students in primary and secondary schools took their own lives last year because of troubles with their family. The figure was 15 in 2004.

The report also showed family feud was blamed for 177 of 623 student suicides between 2004-2008, accounting for 28.4 percent. Depression was the next biggest cause with 19.6 percent and poor school performance with 10.1 percent.

"Increased individualism in families and stress from school and college admissions put heavy pressure on students and push them to make an extreme choice. But there are very few professional counselors at schools to prevent suicides," Kim Hee-dae, an adviser to school counselors, was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.

Only 471 consultants are employed at over 10,000 schools nationwide to help the students, and budget constraints were discouraging schools from hiring more, the report said.
