xXxpinky615xXx answered Tuesday October 18 2005, 4:09 pm: I know a crap load of statistics. But, I'm not going to tell you them all.
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in teenagers aged 14-17.
Most suicides are completed by pill overdose or a gun.
Most suicides are completed by men than women.
You know, if you search google on Teen Suicide Stats, you'll be able to find much more than what I can tell you. That could be easier. It's a RESEARCH paper, where YOU do the research... Silly goose. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]

Although suicide rates have traditionally been highest among elderly males, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of all countries.
Mental disorders (particularly depression and substance abuse) are associated with more than 90% of all cases of suicide. However, suicide results from many complex sociocultural factors and is more likely to occur during periods of socioeconomic, family and individual crisis (e.g. loss of a loved one, employment, honour).
