America’s Suicide Rate has hit an 80-year high, continuing a trend that began in the start of the 21st century, but which has been escalating the last few years. The suicide rate among the young has gone down recently, however, with the suicide rates of 10-to-14-year-olds going down 18 percent and 15-to-24-year-old going down 9 percent.
Males continue to lead suicides in terms of rates and pure numbers, with males over the age of 75 having the highest suicide rate, especially American Indians. While whites have higher suicide rates than blacks and Hispanics, these minority groups are getting closer to whites.
Among whites, it is men, specifically older men that have the highest suicide rates, while among minorities it is the young that have the higher suicide rates.
From usnews.com:
The suicide rate among Black people increased by 19.2% between 2018 and 2021, from 7.3 to 8.7 per 100,000, and it climbed most quickly among Black people ages 10 to 24, at 36.6%.
That suicides are occurring at progressively younger ages in nonwhite people is troubling, Joe said.
“We tend to lose older generations of whites when it comes to suicide,” he said. “But among people of color, it’s always the young, not out of the fourth, third or even approaching the fifth decade of life.”
Suicide rates rose 5% overall in people ages 25 to 44, and by even more among Black, Hispanic, multiracial and Alaska Native people.
As the progmerican state and corporate coalition continue to exact psychological terrorism on all major groups in America, this writer expects those figures to continue to rise, and the decrease in suicides among the young (only very recently) to reverse itself. This, my friends, is probably not an accident.
