I’m saddened to see that the statistics show a growing trend, but I’m curious why the amount of attempts have increased so much, yet the deaths did not increase proportionally to the attempts? I hope that the reason is because suicide attempts are being more talked about and focused on than before, rather than there being an actual increase in attempts. Though it’s probably a bit of both?
Edit:
I can’t seem to find any direct links in the article to the sources it talks about?

New Emo/Scene trend? I remember people slitting wrists all over the place back then. You simply weren’t cool if you didn’t have scarred up forearms.
It’s probably just like you said. Now it’s being reported and (hopefully) treated, back then you’d get slapped.
