This question is very difficult if not impossible to answer because the vast majority of people who try to end their own lives do not openly tell anyone. Also many people who deliberately harm themselves but do not die in that "harming attempt" may not have meant to end their own lives.

However it is believed that for each "completed" suicide - an intentional action by a person that ends their life - there may be up to 30 "attempted suicides".

For example in the US in 2006 (latest final statistics) 33,300 people died by suicide or over 91 every day. This means that about 30 times that number may have tried, but failed, to end their lives.

This works out at 2,730 every day.
