More Young Adolescents Dying From Suicide Than From Car Accidents

More Young Adolescents Dying From Suicide Than From Car Accidents - newser.com

Excerpt from this article:

"In 2014, 384 US kids aged 10 to 14 died in car accidents. That same year, 425 US kids of the same age range died of suicide. The stat, released by the CDC Thursday, is "really surprising," an expert who analyzed the data tells the New York Times. "We think of traffic accidents as so commonplace." But they're becoming less common, while suicide is becoming more so: Back in 1999, adolescents in that age range were four times more likely to die in a traffic accident than to die by their own hand. By 2014, the number of car accident deaths had been halved, but the number of suicides had almost doubled."
