Not sure it is these days; in my youth in the 80s-90s, at least 5 fathers of friends committed suicide (4 by hanging, 1 by gassing himself in his car). Might be more I don't know about.
No sure about the stats / difference.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoI am going to guess your group of friends was quite the outlier. Or you considered a ton of people to be your friends.
- bean-weevil 2y ago> Or you considered a ton of people to be your friends. That's an awful way to write that. You're insinuating that maybe their friends weren't true. How could you know?
- dambi0 2y agoI think you are maybe looking for offense. If I say “I consider them a good friend” it doesn’t bring into question the strength of the friendship.
- bean-weevil 2y agoYou're totally right. I didn't think of it that way.
- anonzzzies 2y agoI didn't say good friends; I was in school; guys in my class are my friends unless they are my enemies. And I included that I don't know the stats or data on it, but hearing from others now, many years later, it was not rare. I also had 2 family members and 2 good friends commit suicide over my lifetime: no idea about stats again, but I know a lot of people (and I live in a completely different country now) who had similar stats.
