Why do people committing suicide shoot themselves in the mouth instead of at the temple?

a bullet through the mouth to the back of the head near where the skull meets the spine is the most effective way to ensure that you do not survive the attempt. Shooting the temple leaves the possibility of survival (with brain damage). If you are thinking about suicide, first DONT, Second talk to someone about it.. there is lots of wonderful stuff in this world and suicide is not the answer.
