"In America one person dies by suicide every 13 minutes."
Odd statistic to cite. Could you help us out and tell us what percentage of young people commit suicide?
- extra88 11y agoThe first link had some age-based information [1]. The rate for people 15 to 24 is 10.9 per 100,000. The highest rate is people 45 to 64, at 19.1. The next age bracket they use is 25 to 44, a much broader range which includes both Jonathan James (25) and Aaron Swartz (27), it's rate appears to be 15.something.
