America sees alarming spike in middle school suicide rate America is experiencing a striking rise in suicide among middle school students. The suicide rate among 10- to 14-year-olds doubled between 2007 and 2014, for the first time surpassing the death rate in that age group from car crashes. In 2014 alone, 425 middle schoolers nationwide took their own lives, including five in New Jersey. "It’s alarming. We’re even getting cases involving 8- and 9-year olds,” said Clark Flatt, who started the Jason Foundation in Tennessee 20 years ago to help educate teachers about teen suicide after his 16-year-old son took his own life. “It’s scary. This isn’t an emerging problem – it’s here.” [link to www.northjersey.com] |

I guess they knew it would generate clicks and revenue. The percentage of middle schoolers who commit suicide is tiny, even if it did 'double'; it doubles from a tiny percentage to a.slightly higher tiny percentage. If you see what the top causes of death are for children in America, what it shows is they are probably the healthiest and safest since records started being kept. |
