Sounds more like a cry for help than any real intention.
If real intention then a stroll to Bedok would suffice.

statistically, more men attempted suicides
but more women committed suicides

So women actually, statistically, are less prone to COMMIT SUICIDES....men ,when they've decided, will kill themselves with complete abandon.....

Many studies have identified a strong link between suicide and diagnosable mental illness, especially depression. So because women suffer from depression at a much higher rate than men, they would seem to be at higher risk for suicide. But women actually commit suicide about one-fourth as often as men.

Murphy believes women are less inclined to commit suicide because their thinking is more inclusive. While a man might tend to throw aside seemingly peripheral issues to get to the core of a problem, a woman might take more things into account. She may continue to seek input and process problems long after the point where men decide on a course of action.

"She'll consider not just her feelings but also the feelings of others -- her family, the children, even acquaintances, and how those people will be affected by a decision like suicide," Murphy says. "A man is much less likely to take those things into account. He makes his decision, and it's about him, so he doesn't feel the need to share it with anyone else."

There are roughly 30,000 suicides in the United States each year, and three-fourths of those are men. But the number of attempted suicides is at least 10 times that, and even that estimate may be low because many suicide attempts are euphemistically classified as lacerations or accidental poisonings when patients receive treatment in hospital emergency rooms.

Although suicide rates are lower among women, women lead men two to one in suicide attempts. So, Murphy says at least 200,000 women are involved in suicide attempts annually. But he points out that attempted suicide most often is not an attempt to actually end one's life. Its purpose, he says, is to survive with changed circumstances.

aiyah,so many links and resources lah. me no author.me just a casual reader lah. anyway, different authors give different statistics lah. but overall, i think men commit suicide more than attempts...and women commit less suicides despite the large number of attempts...not all attempted suicides are suicidal...it's a call for help....a call to change very pressing circumstances...

too much for forummers to read lah....what do you think tracy? being a lady, do you agree more men commit suicide than women? and why?
