We live in a doomed world. If you're smart enough, you know that our future is more than likely bleak. Due to climate change most people are very likely to starve to death.

One of the biggest factors for suicide in India is when farmers can't produce food. There is a ridiculous number of farmer suicides in India (although the major cause is likely debt another cause is drought)

Farmer suicides in India are about 15,000 per year.


Another reason, perhaps a silly one is that suicide is trendy and the media's ethics have loosened on reporting suicide. When a famous person commits suicide tons more people will do it. We've had an increasing amount of such things being covered on the news. E.G. Linkin Park's Chester Bennington.


Then there is the rising cost of living compared to the stagnant wages, and that might be the greatest one.

All our costs are rising but our wages are not.


Then there is the availability of information on suicide which has grown dramatically with the Internet. I'm sure there's tutorial on Carbon Monoxide, Hanging, bleeding to death etc out on the Internet.


Then there is the closure of Institutions for the insane in the United States. Without such institutions a lot more people are going to commit suicide because they don't have people watching over them.

Another reason might be good old lead consumption through drinking water. We sure as hell have a lead problem in the US. There's also other pollutants that might cause it and obesity and depression go hand in hand. When your brain tells you you're a worthless sack of shit, it sure as hell doesn't help being 100 pounds overweight.
