This article makes emphasis on two aspects, suicide and life-threatening actions is a product of research carried out at three universities in Medellin, Colombia, on suicide prevention in university scenarios. Self-destructive behaviors can be understood as suicide risk factors, as long as they are personal or circumstantial conditions, which may indicate the possibility of suicidal behavior, but also as a factor of instability or imbalance of psychological well-being. Thus, risky behaviors are conditions, which increase the likelihood of suicide or exposure to constant danger. The results indicate a high relationship between life-threatening behaviors and acts with explicit intent to commit suicide. In conclusion, university students with low levels of psychological well-being are exposed to high-risk situations and are more prone to suicidal thoughts and acts.
