How many young people do you think die by CBT every year?

Do you know anyone young who killed themselves? How old were they? Why did they do it? (Excluding this site)

It's hard to know an exact number, but I can imagine that it must be loads. To me it's not surprising that so many people decide to ctb in a world like this. I envy those who left this world at a much younger age. It feels like I've been here for too long at this point. I feel so tired of it all even know I'm only 21. The younger that I would have died the more suffering that I would have prevented but of course never being born at all is the best possible thing. How can anyone say that suicide is tragic when permanent eternal sleep solves all problems.

World wide one million people a year ctb. In the USA every 11-12 minutes every day. People of all ages. And forty two thousand people in the USA every year. All ages.

You're only 21? You radiate wisdom and maturity of that of an older person haha

When I was in sixth grade, a girl that was in the eighth grade at the time hung herself. Something went wrong and she became a vegetable and then had to be euthanised. I remember being confused as to why anyone would do such a thing. And to think that only a few months later I'll start having those same thoughts. I remember seeing her classmates crying. Some of the teachers were also in tears, that week some classes were skipped because they went to her funeral.

I knew a cousin by marriage who CTB by partial hanging to success. Tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other end onto a closet clothes rod and just leaned forward. He was fairly young, like 20 or 21.
