Personal Stories Of Attempted Suicide
If research is to be believed in the US the rate of suicide is 11 people in every 100,000. However, this does not tell us the stories of attempted suicide which many people try because they feel helpless or see no way out of their problems.

If you read the personal stories of attempted suicide, they are really very sad. However, you can also find personal stories of attempted suicide where teenagers try committing suicide due to silly reasons like a friend laughing at their choice of shoes or clothes.

Reading the personal stories of attempted suicide and conducting research, scientists have concluded that no suicide is a premeditative event. In fact, it is an impulsive act. Most survivors say that they did not plan the suicide; they just decided to take the step without planning.
Through personal stories of attempted suicides, psychologists have learned that if opportunities for committing suicide are removed from the vicinity, the rate of suicide will fall. For example, research has shown that the states with highest ownership of guns also have the highest rate of suicides by guns. Although in these states, people use other means of suicide but if gun control was brought in, then those thinking of committing suicide using a gun would reduce.
