While mass shootings frequently land on the front page, many more people
die of suicide each year. Data released in this year, covering 2010,
found that for the first time more people died from suicide (38,364) than car crashes (33,687).
While suicide is frequently associated with teenagers and the elderly,
the growth has been fueled by “middle-aged Americans.” Experts
speculate the rise might be attributable to middle-aged people “coping
with the stress of caring for aging parents while still providing
financial and emotional support to adult children.”
