If I lived in those shitholes too I would end it

Why are all the Baltic countries there?

 

[Rooble]

Unreliable though

Why are all the Baltic countries there?

Because they all look like depressing, soulless places to live

unreliable sources. Who takes statistics of Somali suicides

Why is South Korea so high up there?

 

[Mohamud]

Why is South Korea so high up there?

Japan and South Korea legit have suicide prevention squads that like go out to suicide Hotspots and try and save lives

I believe Japan has an actual forest where people go to kill themselves.

Guyana is #1?

All the Guyanese people I know are always happy

Suicide is a very rare thing among us Somalis everyone knows that its almost nonexistent.

Suicides among Somalis is very hidden

There is public shame that goes with it.

Years ago, I was taken around town by my cousins neighbour in Somalia. He seemed like a happy guy.

I find out last year he stabbed himself because he was unemployed and felt hopeless. The family said to everyone else he was killed by an unknown mentally ill person but my cousin found out the truth.

Very sad.

It is all of a load of nonsense to be honest with you .

If you have no job, if you live in poverty, if you feel hopeless, then its likely you will think of ending your life or will want to end your life.

Suicides are not done by happy people with limited problems.

I am not sure why people think Somalis are not affected by suicides. Somalis are among the most miserable people on Earth. There is a reason why tens of thousands of Somali youth cross dangerous seas every year to go to Europe. It is to escape misery.

You can't have honest and thoughtful discussions with these contributors because they are filled with pride. These people will be useless in fixing Somali problems.

That's true but they don't kill themselves. Unhappy Somalis resort to religion and adapted to their life and make best of it. Suicide rates are very small among Somalis. Somali will join al kebab or abuse khaat before he kills himself. Don't forget Somalia was happiest country in east Africa by UN.
