If suicides continue at their current rate, one in every 88 people in the U.S. will ultimately die of suicide. Suicide rates have grown by 37% since 2000, and suicide is now the second-leading cause of death for people aged 10 to 34. Suicide rates are disproportionately high for males (four times higher than females), Native Americans (54% higher than whites), and whites (96% higher than blacks).
