University at Buffalo, Suicide Prevention Counseling Services.
"After accidents and homicides, suicide is the third leading cause
of death among young adults ages 15-24. It can be prevented. Men are
more likely to commit suicide than women. They usually use violent
means to end their own lives. Females, on the other hand, are more
likely to attempt suicide. They usually use drugs or poison to try
and end their lives. You should note that a suicide attempt is a
"cry for help" and a request for social support. The suicidal person
is letting his/her feelings be known. His/her problems seem
overwhelming and too difficult to handle."
