On the outset, this sounds pretty bad, but it wouldn't give me much comfort if it were reversed and more teens were killed by homicide, either.

It definitely makes since. There are a lot of teens out there who do end their lives.

makes sense. America might have a lot of crap and material things, but it's hard to live her. freedom can only truly be appreciated by the few. sure, other countries might not have the freedoms granted, in theory, in america. but they also do not have the same shallow materialist concerns we have, the ego, that pushes people to feel worthless, especially teens.

Unfortunately-that doesn't surprise me. I have the R.I.P Tattoo for one of my old friends, to prove this statistic.
