After 3 Suspected Suicides, Cornell Reaches Out

 

To the National Editor of the National Post
This letter is NOT intended for publication.
For A. M. Owens,
Managing Editor, News,
The National Post
18 March 2010
 
Ms. Owens,
 
Ivy League Distress” on A3 of the National Post* cited four Cornell students who recently committed suicide. According to Cornell U President David Skorton, “ … suicide among young people is a national health crisis.” (*18 March 2010, from The New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/17/education/17cornell.html)
 
But two women students apparently disagree: Deirdre Mulligan and “Nicole Huynh … does not think the stress of studies pushed him to the edge, but rather troubles from early in life … his mind was set and he was going to do whatever he wanted to do.”
 
Omitted from that article and almost every article on suicide is that over 77% of US suicides and in Canada over 80% of suicides, are male. Some analyses suggest that social stresses, drastically escalated on boys and men, in the past 40 years may be driving the escalating suicide rates.
 
You may object to an intrusion of sexual politics into these tragedies. After all, it’s not as though the suicides are mostly female. But as the only author published in the Canadian mass media on suicide rates by sex, the data shows that avoiding sex analysis and retention of a female counseling approach, will probably fuel the increase of male suicides.
 
Today in Canada, nine males and two females will commit suicide. That’s almost a suicide every two hours. In the USA, 16 females and 68 males will commit suicide. The UN - WHO suicide criteria predispose to under-counting.
 
A multiple – part investigative series could be written in a newspaper on this preventable loss of lives. But they’re mostly only men.
