Gun in hand, 68 year old woman saves boyfriend in attack

[VanillaRhapsody]

107. per capita?

that is the stats I am using....

The fastest growing suicide demographic is young men. It is now the single biggest killer of men in Japan aged 20-44.
And the evidence suggests these young people are killing themselves because they have lost hope and are incapable of seeking help.
The numbers first began to rise after the Asian financial crisis in 1998. They climbed again after the 2008 worldwide financial crisis.
Experts think those rises are directly linked to the increase in "precarious employment", the practice of employing young people on short-term contracts.

Japan was once known as the land of lifetime employment.
But while many older people still enjoy job security and generous benefits, nearly 40% of young people in Japan are unable to find stable jobs..

and you bring up that Australia is a different culture? Japan has no religious edict against suicide...and we all know how important "saving face" is in Asian cultures...

But NO NRA to stand in the way of Japan improving THOSE conditions though!

again shame shame shame...despicable what you will use to defend your position
