Batcan Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US for all ages. (CDC) Every day, approximately 123 Americans die by suicide. (CDC) There is one death by suicide in the US every 12 minutes. (CDC) Depression affects 20-25% of Americans ages 18+ in a given year. (CDC) Suicide takes the lives of over 44,965 Americans every year. (CDC) The highest suicide rates in the US are among Whites, American Indians and Alaska Natives. Only half of all Americans experiencing an episode of major depression receive treatment. (NAMI) 80% -90% of people that seek treatment for depression are treated successfully using therapy and/or medication. (TADS study) An estimated quarter million people each year become suicide survivors (AAS). There is one suicide for every estimated 25 suicide attempts.

cHIP oTLE Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 People that feel the need to repeat the same shit over and over, like kys, or neck yourself have some serious personal issues they need to work through. if it’s an issue for people tho, they can just turn sidechat off or ignore those toxic users on the forums...

Big Fred Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Suicide rates are 0.01%. You have a greater chance of winning the lottery than actually hitting one suicidal dude with a KYS in side chat. Adding to that, I believe that being toxic in video games is an outlet for frustrated teens who are struggling with issues in real life. Don't take it away from them. Judg3 likes this Link to comment
