Discussion Ctb methods in SK and NZ

[EmpressDean]

New Zealand and South Korea are the countries with the highest teen suicides. But when I google South Korea celebrity suicides they don't reveal the method (obviously). And same with New Zealand. How are these teens taking their own life? Cuz I got a firearm, and I'm still struggling to pull the trigger and I'm like "how are they doing it?" What is the method that is most used and most successful? How are celebs doing it? Shit even the elderly are doing it.

I'm in NZ. Most youths who ctb here seem to hang and some via train.

I'm pretty certain our stats are inflated by a near total lack of opiods tbh, I think ODs hide a lot of suicides in other countries.

It looks like South Korea has a lot of hanging see tables in attached link the title says women but the charts have percentages for men as well.
