where i live North Belfast in ireland.
It has the highest rate of suicide in europe among young people.In my parish which has maybe 2500 people in the last 10years i think it has had over 20 suicides. majority were under 30years old.
Its so common suicide here in north belfast and i dont know why. recently a mass was held for those who committed suicide and the names read out. it was astounding how many people did it but also how many i knew and also how many i forgot ahd done it.
my friends cousin committed suicide a few years ago hanging from the scaffolding of a church by his jumper. in the following weeks 5 or 6 of his friends did the same. one hung using a rubber hose and due to the weight of him and stretching when he was focund he was on his knees on the altar looking like he was just praying.
aso most of these are found with broken finges scratches on their neck after trying to save themselves.
