why are suicide statistics so out dated?

The people who run suicide statistics, may have committed suicide themselves.

I haven't made a study of it nor looked up any, but if it were a factor, investigators/statisticians would look for a statistically significant difference in the rates at which people of different races are sentenced to death in capital punishment cases.  I believe such studies do exist that indicate such bias, though I haven't seen them myself - but they do get covered in the papers when they are released.\n\nYou sound skeptical.  I'd be curious to know why.

I have seen a lot of young people try and commit suicide, and the last thing on there mind is God. Many believe that if you take your own life you wander around in an empty void unable to pass over, this is rubbish of course but it's what some preach to scare others. This is not something that God would approve, and you will find that he gets the blame when someone does take their life, but the blame must fall on us because we fail each other, why? because we live in a world of greed, a place where few have time for others, a place where some kill in the name of their God. We need to share our love for each other as well as God, we mush never let our faith leave us, because it could fall on anyone us. People don't want pity, sometimes it's just someone to talk to, as I said I know I have dealt with a number of young lads up the age of 18 you have tried to kill themselves most cases it's a cry for help, but who's listening????????\nLove & Peace

Most of the on-line Birth and Marriage sites shut down after 9/11 to make it harder to steal someone's identity. You can sometimes find births, deaths and marriages of people who have been dead for 10, 20 or 50 years on US Gen Web sites for specific counties. If that is what you want, write and I'll send you a link.

Doesn't a failed suicide call for an arrest? Whatever the case, it's wrong. You don't punish persons who're depressed and want to die. You get them help. On the otherhand, if a failed suicide isn't suicide why is this illegal in some countries? It makes little sense.

You profile says "life sucks but if God is with you its not so bad" maybe you need to repeat that to yourself a couple times.  My grandma always said God will never give you more than you can handle.  Whether you believe in God or not, suicide is not the answer. I think you know that or you would not be asking us about suicide methods.  You obviously want us to stop you from making a horrible mistake you could never take back.

Suicide is an ordinary, but largely outmoded, biological response to feelings of worthlessness which can be brought about through many different disorders and circumstances. In the primitive human world suicide might have served the useful purpose of removing certain individuals from the community gene pool in order to make for a stronger human population.\n\nWhat seems madness to me is that someone might still have to face difficult situations without feeling like they had any friends or loved ones to whom they may turn for help. We should all be way past that point I would hope.\n\nWK

I guess you wonder about the likelihood, not the possiblility. \nThe International Shark Attack File reports that since 2000 a downward trend both in numbers and in severity of attacks has been observed, incidents fell from 85 to 72 to 60 in 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, and fatalities from 13 to 5 to 3 in the same years.

People are against suicide because it makes them feel bad. They selfishly think of themselves and how bad they will feel about it instead of thinking about ending the suffering of a loved one.

A lot of people refuse to believe that statistics can apply to them.  If you focus on anecdotal evidence, you can ignore broader trends.  If you understand the ubiquity of probablity, you'd be less likely to engage in dangerous behaviors where the odds are agaist you (even though you might know some of the rare exceptions to the rule in your everyday life).

Alot, mostly from dehydration or a heart attack or stroke. I don't think hospitals have released official numbers but its not uncommon where I live to hear of someone dying from it.

The suicide rate of ex gays is really really high, I guess we don't want people confusing our community to a point of suicide,\n\nBesides, how do you KNOW they are ex gay?  Maybe they just got better at hiding it.  How do I know?  Well I have been pursued by some of them.  And considering, I find it hard to respect.
