Why do men commit suicide more often than women do?

All About Depression: General: Suicide FAQ
More than four times as many men as women die by suicide; but women attempt suicide more often during their lives than do men, and women report higher rates of depression. Several explanations have been offered: a) Completed suicide is associated with aggressive behavior that is more common in men, and which may in turn be related to some of the biological differences identified in suicidality. b) Men and women use different suicide methods.

Think of it as “no big deal”! No pun intended!!!! People on the island aren’t looking, and should the need “arise” you may excuse yourself, wrap in a towel, and leave the area until all calms down J HOWEVER, as posted on the board previously, we are all adults, and don’t worry about what may “happen” while on the island. As the “islanders” can testify, it’s simply not about sex.

Why do some teenagers commit suicide?

YSPP Youth Suicide Prevention Program
We don’t know for sure, because when youth die by suicide they take the answers with them. But teens who attempt suicide and survive tell us that they wanted to die to end the pain of living. They are often experiencing a number of stressors and feel that they do not have the strength or desire to continue living. We also believe that the majority of youth who die by suicide have a mental disorder, like depression, which is often undiagnosed, untreated or both.

But shouldn't people have the right to commit suicide?

Euthanasia: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: People do have the power to commit suicide. Suicide and attempted suicide are not criminalized. Each and every year, in the United States alone, there are more suicides than homicides. Suicide is a tragic, individual act. Euthanasia is not about a private act. It's about letting one person facilitate the death of another. That is a matter of very public concern since it can lead to tremendous abuse, exploitation and erosion of care for the most vulnerable people among us.
