The number of suicides in the United States has been on the rise since 1999 in everyone between the ages of 10 and 74, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Researchers at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics looked at data on cause of death for Americans 10 and older from 1999 to 2014. They also included information on age and race from death certificates.

In 2014, 13 people out of every 100,000 took their own lives, compared with 10.5 per 100,000 in 1999. The suicide rate increased every year from 1999 to 2014 among both women and men and in every age group except those 75 and older.

"The increase is broad-based," said Sally C. Curtin, a statistician at the National Center for Health Statistics and lead author of the new report.

The report is the first since 1999 to look at suicide rates among all age groups.

The number of suicides increased among all racial groups except for black males, who saw a decline in suicide rates.

Suicide rates among white men increased by 28%.

That many less fucked up people in the world....although I am disappointed to see the numbers go down for blacks. But thankfully we have Planned Parenthood around to kill those black babies before they become adults.

We all know he is a racist, I was saying that long before you turned up and became about as welcome here as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah!

Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion
On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.

​
This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."

​
A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions.

It may get funding from them, but...

A black New Jersey pastor, Rev. Clenard Childress, is president of the Life Education and Resource Network. His website, BlackGenocide.org, equates abortion with genocide.

Perhaps aging white males are killing themselves because they have no friends or money, and they've got all those guns to make it easy.


Middle-aged white people now account for a third of all suicides in the U.S., a new government report shows.

Suicides have long been most common among white people - particularly older white males. But most striking in the new report is the growth in whites ages 45 to 64.

They were a third of suicide deaths in 2014.

"The findings in this report are extremely concerning," said Nadine Kaslow, an Emory University researcher and past president of the American Psychological Association.

The CDC data - released Friday - provides a detailed look at the latest year's suicide statistics.

The report doesn't try to answer why certain trends are occurring.

Other experts have speculated that middle age can be a particularly hard time for whites, who - compared to some other racial and ethnic groups - commonly don't have as many supportive relationships with friends, family, or religious communities,

Money was a factor, too, they say. The economy was in recession from the end of 2007 until mid-2009. Even well afterward, polls showed most Americans remained worried about weak hiring, a depressed housing market and other problems.

White people, in particular, seem to expect financial comfort and happiness by middle age - and have difficulty coping when things get worse instead of better, Emory's Kaslow said.

Has anyone else noticed that the signicant rise in suicide coincides with the year Nickelback came out?
 
Maybe when white men realized that the economic prosperity of the Clinton years was drawing to a close, the cowards' way out became an attractive option.
