Re: Now the US suicide rate is well below most of the European countries. Why do y'all kill yourselves at such a high rate? Actually, the US picture is not as rosy as you purport it to be... As the paper below reveals, France's dismal suicide rate is skewed by a disproportionate suicide rate among her elderly: 62.3 per 100K male individuals aged 65+ (and 21.3 for women) vs 38.0 and 7.4 in the US, respectively. But if you look at the suicide rate for male youths then the US comes fifth with 20.0 suicides per 100K (for the 15-24-year-olds) vs 14.0 in France.... Suicide In 1999, for the first time, the Surgeon General issued a Call To Action To Prevent Suicide, defining it as a "public health hazard." In public interviews he noted how in 1998 for every two homicides in the U.S. there were three suicides. Since 1952, the incidence for adolescents and young adults has nearly tripled, and 90% of these cases were due to guns. Each day 86 Americans take their own lives and another 1,500 attempt to do so.
