But that goes against subtle hinting of the article of parenting being the cause of suicide. If it were parenting wouldn't suicide be high earlier as well (before college)?
Maybe it isn't cultural within families but peer social groups that are setting the bar too high. I'm arguing the stress may not actually be from the parents but the desire to fit in with others in the group.
- chillacy 10y agoThen I misunderstood your toplevel comment as "Asians are more comfortable with suicide culturally (insert samurai references here) therefore we can expect higher rates of suicide". My evidence against that was that AAs don't actually have higher than average suicide rates and that being part of the culture reduces suicide rates. Also since you mentioned catholics, you may be interested in this: http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-church-attendance-suicide-20160629-snap-story.html http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-church-a...
- agentgt 10y agoYes that is why I was deeply concerned that my comment was interpreted as "samurai reference". I really regret mentioning catholics as I could see how it easily confuses even more. My overall point was the author seemed to be connecting too many dots and thus in my mind might make it less likely to be true. Originally I contemplated bringing up the the stereotypes of cultural conformity (as in some cultures are influenced by groups and deeply desire to be part of the group/conform) but this is a dangerous topic (regardless of being PC as it can quickly get heated). Peer conformity would certainly be less points to connect (cause/effect) than parents causing college aged AA's to commit suicide (regardless of ethnicity).
