Suicide among the leading causes of death among young people in the USA. The portrait of a social failure
Homicide and suicide are common causes of death for young people in the United States, second only to accidents for those between the ages of 15 and 34. A beautiful drawing of the modern society which is so “Understanding” that it gives its children no reason to live, but many reasons to die.
For children ages 5 to 9, homicide is among the greatest dangers and was the fourth most common cause of death for this age group in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. diseases, For children between the ages of 10 and 14, both homicide and suicide are among the top 4 killers.
According to a study published this week in the scientific journal Jama Pediatrics, homicide rates in children have increased in recent years, with a 50% increase for children of color and for those aged 16 to 17 only between the 2018 and 2020.
They also increased for adults in 2020 and 2021. Suicide rates have also increased for people under the age of 45 over the past decade, including very young children as young as 5 years old. Here is a Statista infographic that shows in an exemplary way the causes of death by age group in the USA:
Of the approximately 46,000 suicides recorded by the CDC in the United States in 2020, between 6,000 and 8,000 deaths occurred per cohort older than 15.
In the US, approximately 600 suicides occurred in the 10-14 age group in 2020. The situation is similar for homicides, where approximately 200-300 deaths in the 5-9 and 10-14 age groups make up the fourth position among the most common causes of death. Between 6,000 and 7,000 homicide deaths occurred among 15-24 and 25-34 year olds in 2020. However, suicide is the second leading cause of death in 25-34 year olds, the age that should be the flower of life.
In other eras, society would like to start asking questions. Today in the "Woke" era, where everyone has rights and no one has duties, instead these worrying data flow on the skin of politics and the so-called cultural elites like fresh water.
