A2. (IF the annual mortality of teens were 21%, then the survival over the 7 teen years would be 0.79^7 = 0.192. It cannot be that only 19% of teens survive.)
Suicide rates vary widely by country, and a number of countries claim a Zero rate. Due to the stigma of the event, it is almost universally under reported. And some suicides are noted as "crash against tree/bridge, etc", and "suicide by cop".
The US population was around 300 000 million in 2004, from which 5000 suicides were reported in the age group 10 to 24. I have insufficient time to explore the US Census data to untangle the numbers. (Perhaps scrambled to prevent analysis).
Though more females attempt suicide than males, about four times more males do suicide, almost certainly explained by their choice of more effective methods, such as cars and firearms.
