The majority of people who die by committing suicide had a mental illness; depression. Although some people are genetically born with depression, this illness is now increasingly being found in teenagers ages 15-17. They may have went through a negative life experience that their decrepit mind could not handle. Most teens who commit suicide however, were probably sexually abused, abuse drugs or alcohol themselves, not feeling accepted by family members etc. Coincidentally most teenage suicides occur in developed ,countries, especially the United States. The substance abuse lowers their levels of tolerance, and that leads them to land on a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Most depressed teens don't/can't realize or understand that whatever problem they may be going through will get better.
That isn't to say that adults don't also commit suicide. As it turns out however gender plays an important role in adult suicide. While there are many female attempted suicides, there are more committed male suicides. That is to say that while females do attempt to commit suicide a lot, males are more successful at actually accomplishing it. Statistics show that most adult suicides are committed by Caucasian males between the ages of 30-55. These suicides aren't just committed by "poor" guys, but there is mow in this recession a growing number of suicides by relatively successful males. Some of these males are so used to success and never really go through the experience of failing, that they don't know how to handle it, or broke more easily than others when failure does come to pay them a visit. They feel powerless and unable to control their worlds, a world in which they were the kings. Because men are portrayed as the dominant gender in society, it is hard for them to admit/talk about their problems,Because of their pride, and because of that they face all their troubles alone and ultimately cannot handle it. I guess this is where women should consider themselves lucky and stop complaining about felling unequal to men (not trying to sound sexist or anything).
