Suicides rate high in Idaho
Judy Ferro
A recent Idaho Statesman editorial reported that the “Ada County Coroner’s Office has recorded eight juvenile suicides since August.” That’s a suicidal cluster, believed to occur when others contemplating suicide see what they interpret as a success. And estimates are that 20% of U.S. teens seriously consider suicide. Idaho is part of a belt of eight western states with suicide rates among the highest in the United States.
