Suicidal tendencies actually have very little to do with gender.
Our suicidal tendencies are actually culturally developed.
In the western world for example, men are more likely to commit suicide because they are led to be independent and usually have access to the tools to do so (guns, construction equipment, etc). Women on the other hand usually have a group of support and rarely have access to the tools.
In the middle-east, suicide rates are highest amongst women. This is usually due to the fact that women are oppressed and forced to live a life they don't want. They see suicide as their only means of escape.
In Asia, both men and women are equally likely to commit suicide. Asians are very hard working and have very little periods of rest, which leads to mental exhaustion, depression then suicide.
So the answer to your question depends massively on the country or culture that you are referring to.

What group of people have highest suicide rate in the US?
If you mean in terms of occupations, probably members of the armed forces, police officers, and perhaps truck drivers. Truck driving is a field where a number of military vets get involved because war made them more isolated from others. Driving a truck is mostly a solitary job, and it allows someone to feel in control while they are on the road. Of course, living situations and disabilities are also a factor. Those estranged from their families are more likely to consider suicide than those in loving relationships. LGBT persons are more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals. Divorced people are more likely to commit suicide than single people and happily married couples. Those who become disabled later in life may be more likely to commit suicide than either those disabled very early in life (excluding certain mental conditions) and those who suffer no disabilities. IQ can be a factor to a point. Those who are right below the normal range are probably more likely to commit suicide than those in the normal range and those who are profoundly mentally challenged. Things are perhaps the hardest on those who have cognitive disabilities and are fully aware they have them.
