Dear Gerald > I was surprised to receive information that children as young > as six are now attempting to kill themselves. Off the top of > my head I think that suicide accounts for around a third of > all deaths of young males aged 16-24 If you wish to find out these sort of statistics go to www.statistics.gov.uk you will find the site has all sort of interesting stats, including mortality rates per 100,000 of the population and cause of death. It's sobering to note that the statisitcs for suicide haven't altered that much over the years and that three times more males than females are likely to commit suicide. ===== Best wishes Paul ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
