Suicide by state:

The study also broke down the data by state and found suicide rates varied widely. The most recent rates, for the years 2014 to 2016, ranged from a low of 6.9 per 100,000 residents per year in Washington, D.C., to a high of 29.2 per 100,000 residents in Montana.

During the entire study period, rates of suicide increased in nearly every state. Percentage increases over this time ranged from just under 6 percent in Delaware to over 57 percent in North Dakota.

People in DC just murder each other. Living in DC when you have a choice to go somewhere else borders on insanity.

Can be linked to social media use and massive reduction of one on one physical contact between teenagers. For example, Teenage pregnancies are down. Same reasons.

The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say...

This is what happens when everybody gets a trophy, you never learn to handle life’s ups and downs. Between that and pushing gender confusion as the norm doesn’t help.

At best, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Ever think in part it may be the fact that an entire generation has been told how great they are despite having achieved nothing? When you are told you can do whatever you want as a child, then reality hits you as an adult you have no idea how to cope because you never had to cope with anything in your life.

Spades husband says there were no signs that she would do this, then turns around and says she was being treated for depression for the past 5 years.

Uh-huh. Let me get this straight...suicide at home is WRONG according to the CDC...but if you just call it ‘euthanasia’ and a doctor kills you then it’s just fine by the CDC.

Wonder what the state by state per capita numbers are versus the increase. Suppose DC already had a high rate, then the rate of increase would likely be smaller.

Sociopaths probably have a very low suicide rate.

Whites commit suicide far more than blacks.
