Suicides per year based on gender
The incidence of suicide each year has remained relatively consistent among males and females between the ages of 11 and 18 from January 2000 to November 2006. The downward trend in male suicides in 2006 (and perhaps 2005) may be due to incomplete data, as many deaths from 2006 are still under investigation and their causes have yet to be confirmed.
