Unlike most leading causes of death in the United States, suicide rates have not declined during the past 50 years. Among young people the situation is even more dramatic, because suicide rates are rising, and suicide is now the second cause of death in 15- to 29-year-olds globally. It has been suggested that descriptions of suicide in the media might affect behavior and that the young might be more vulnerable to this effect..
与美国大多数主要死亡原因不同，自杀率在过去 50 年中并未下降。在年轻人中，情况更为严重，因为自杀率正在上升，现在自杀已成为全球 15 至 29 岁人群的第二大死因。有人认为，媒体对自杀的描述可能会影响行为，而年轻人更容易受到这种影响。
