- CuriousCosmic 4y agoI'm not necessarily disagreeing with what you are saying but it's worth bringing up some more recent data for the attempt rate. The rates of suicide attempts among teen girls was already twice the rate of teen boys (as you already mentioned) however despite that it has increased another 50% despite not seeing a significant uptick in teen boy suicide attempts. 1. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7024e1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7024e1.htm
