When in Trouble, Blame a Man

I wouldn't be surprised if you think misandry means "anyone who disagrees with men's rights groups."

By the way, check out my post on that weather thread. I am interested about your daughter's problems.

Completed suicides, U.S., 1999*

Suicide was the 11th leading cause of death in the United States.
It was the 8th leading cause of death for males, and 19th leading cause of death for females.
The total number of suicide deaths was 29,199.

Suicide outnumbered homicides (16,899) by 5 to 3.
There were twice as many deaths due to suicide than deaths due to HIV/AIDS (14,802).
There were almost exactly the same number of suicides by firearm (16,889) as homicides (16,599).

Attempted Suicides

No annual national data on attempted suicide are available; reliable scientific research, however, has found that:
There are an estimated 8-25 attempted suicides to one completion; the ratio is higher in women and youth and lower in men and the elderly
More women than men report a history of attempted suicide, with a gender ratio of 3:1
The strongest risk factors for attempted suicide in adults are depression, alcohol abuse, cocaine use, and separation or divorce
The strongest risk factors for attempted suicide in youth are depression, alcohol or other drug use disorder, and aggressive or disruptive behaviors

I full well know what it means take note I rarely us it...

It's a big problem. I think we're in agreement there.

One of the reasons we're not dealing with suicides is that the media doesn't report them. In the past, mental health experts convinced the media that reporting suicides leads to copycat suicides. That attitude is now changing with mental health experts trying to get suicides covered, yet done in a way that minimizes copycats.

The high number of suicides, by men and women, in North America needs to be addressed

Our (both Canada and US) suicide rate is lower than Europe's...

By far baltics lead the way there I think 21.1 per 100,000 as opposed to 10-12 per 100,000 here.
