Space is the Place
The below is compiled from OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) data, which is like a club of the developed nations though it also includes some big developing nations, and suicide rate report outs from the CDC. News articles that have been on the Coli report often Black in the US have the lowest suicide rate of all ethnic groups.
Interestingly enough, from the international perspective we have a lower suicide rate than all developed countries in the world and the only major countries lower are Turkey and South Africa.
Please discuss this maturely, no celebrating 'others' offing themselves. I have known suicide victims and it is sad.
Is there a reason you think for this? Even though there are problems with mental health in some parts of our community and despite societal stress, we never take the punk way out. Now if we could just stop killing each other we'd be GOAT
