Objectives Suicide is a major cause of death worldwide, especially among teens and adolescents. The aim of this research was the structural test of the Interpersonal Theory of suicide model in Students. 
Methods Suicide is a major cause of death worldwide, especially among teens and adolescents. The aim of this research was the structural test of the interpersonal theory of suicide model in students. 
Results The findings showed that interpersonal theory of suicide model has a good fitness in Iranian community and can predict suicide properly. Interpersonal need explains considerable portion in forming suicide ideation. However, it seems that acquired capability for suicide just predicts a little variance of the suicide. 
Conclusion This model can predict suicide ideation and attempts, so we can use it for recognizing suicide ideation and attempts in students and devise suitable interventions, especially supportive strategies based on interpersonal factors for preventing suicide.
