Adolescents face various psychological challenges that may increase the risk of suicidal behavior. This quantitative descriptive–correlational study aimed to examine the relationships between family social support and self-love culture with suicide prevention among adolescents. Participants were 525 high school students in Maumere, East Nusa Tenggara (233 males, 292 females; M_age = 16.05 years, SD = 1.09). Family social support was measured using the Perceived Social Support-Family Scale (PSS-Fa), self-love culture with an instrument based on Yoon Hong Gyun’s perspective, and suicide prevention with the Reasons for Living Inventory–Adolescent Version (RFL-A). All instruments demonstrated adequate psychometric properties, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.78 (family social support), 0.76 (self-love culture), and 0.71 (suicide prevention), and item–total correlation coefficients ranging from 0.235–0.825, 0.231–0.758, and 0.226–0.748, respectively. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation (ρ). The results showed a significant relationship between family social support and suicide prevention (ρ = 0.795; p < 0.001), as well as between self-love culture and suicide prevention (ρ = 0.805; p < 0.001).
