It also legal in the US to commit suicide. Believe me they won't put you in jail for it. :D
no I mean assisted suicide as in the medical procedure lol, even our suicides are more civilised than yours
I feel that the debt and struggles with bills that most Americans face have a lot to do with living beyond means. It happens so often that people take out loans for things like college or a mortgage, with little to nothing to show for it in the end. Why isn't financial literacy being taught in schools, when it's one of the most important skills a person could have?
ya, I wonder if this is the facade of the 'American Dream' - you can have lotsa shit. And if you have lotsa shit you win. You a winner. 'Til you lose said shit cos you can't pay for it then you a loser but maybe you didn't even want the shit in the first place.

Suicide has become so rampant it's reversed life expectancy rates in the US for the past 3 years.
In 2015, a PNSA study indicated that middle-aged, white Americans were dying at a greater rate than ever before. Even as mortality rates declined in almost every major developed nation (with the exception of Russia), they rose steadily for the U.S., thanks to the uptick in suicides. American suicides are now at their highest point in 50 years - since the end of WW2.
In my health care classes we are taught that the lowering life expectancies are because of a spike in obesity and health related deaths. Not sure if thats the reality, but thats the statistics from what deaths doctors are declaring
White Americas account for only a tiny percent of suicides. By far Native American males are most likely to commit suicide, followed by black males, teenagers of any race, then white males. Source: one of my professors worked for the state's registry of Violent Deaths. It was his job personally to record every suicide for the 3 years he worked there. He quit because the job was too depressing.
Sc is pretty boring.
@ pale peach
That's interesting. There seems to be lots of articles that say that whites are offing themselves but I don't know enough about it. This article gets into it a bit...

"Socioeconomic changes might be part of the puzzle. Globally, suicide rates have often fallen when living conditions have improved. And the reverse is also true. Princeton University economists Anne Case, PhD, and Angus Deaton, PhD, have shown that deaths from suicide, drugs and alcohol have risen steeply among white, middle-aged Americans since 2000 (PNAS"

Now is this based on sheer numbers or proportions?
The population of the US is around 2.5 times bigger now than it was back in 1945, so this is pretty important for what this stat actually means.
Psychologists are at a loss to explain this but economists are weighing in on the cause
I sorta missed it but I think they said that feeling you can't get ahead financially can make you off yourself.
Other western countries face similar challenges that the US has faced but they aren't going mass seppukko?
So WTF is happening, Americans? Why you so sad?
It's what happens when corporate fascism and freedom clash.
