Police say there have been five youth suicides in Woodstock this year and at least 36 suicide attempts in Oxford County, which encompasses Woodstock and seven neighbouring communities. There were no youth suicides last year.

As to why this is happening, nobody has a clear answer. Students told CBC News that stress, anxiety and depression are widespread among their peers and that bullying is also an issue.

But McMahon said suicide is too complex to speculate on people's individual motivations.

"We don't know why the numbers are so high. We do know one thing — different than when I was a child: youth are aware when other youth die by suicide. The social media effect and the spread of information ... there's nothing we can do to stop that," he said.

But anxiety and depression over what? I can understand why isolated native children feel that way, but what does a teenager in Woodstock have to be anxious or depressed over?

Because they know the Snow Countess is gone forever.

Suicides among young people continue to be a serious problem. Each year in the U.S., thousands of teenagers commit suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-to-24-year-olds, and the sixth leading cause of death for 5-to-14-year-olds.

Teenagers experience strong feelings of stress, confusion, self-doubt, pressure to succeed, financial uncertainty, and other fears while growing up. For some teenagers, divorce, the formation of a new family with step-parents and step-siblings, or moving to a new community can be very unsettling and can intensify self-doubts. For some teens, suicide may appear to be a solution to their problems and stress.

Children and teens can experience mental illnesses like depression. Sometimes it can be difficult for adults to understand how difficult children’s problems can be because we look at their problems through adult eyes. But the pressures of growing up can be very hard for some children. It’s important that we remind ourselves that while their problems may seem unimportant to us, they can feel overwhelming to young people. It’s important to take depression in young people seriously.

$1:

In Canada, suicide accounts for 24 percent of all deaths among 15-24 year olds and 16 percent among 16-44 year olds. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 10 and 24. Seventy-three percent of hospital admissions for attempted suicide are for people between the ages of 15 and 44.

Nobody ever said it was just the FNs. Teen suicide is endemic across Canada, just that it's worse among FNs.

I'm not buying that list. There's an underlying factor that comes in to most, if not all those issues that seems ignored: entitlement, or rather the realization that they aren't getting what they think they're entitled to.

What a terribly ignorant comment.

Why does anyone experience mental illness?

Mental illness affects people from all walks of life. It doesn't matter where you live or how much money you have.

Okay, then, what in particular causes mental illness at a greater rate in Woodstock than elsewhere in Ontario?

[ShepherdsDog]

Ask beaver scrotrum. The PoS wants to make light of young people killing themselves. Maybe one day he can joke about it if it's his own kid.

[BeaverFever]

Oh relax.

[ShepherdsDog]

oh go play.

Now who's not taking the subject of suicide seriously?

I'm not sure that's the case. Mental illness is a very broad term and goes well beyond suicide.

Mental illness doesn't always have a cause or trigger. There are many factors that can cause mental illness.

Stay classy.

It's always fun to joke about people with mental illness....until it hits you or your family and you realize how much if a dick you are for making comments like you did above.

Fluoride levels in four Oxford County communities were documented to be above the province’s Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC) of 1.5 mg/L,

Fluoride is the active component of fluoxetine, which is more commonly known as Prozac.

And what's Wiki say about the side effects?

In 2007 the FDA required all antidepressants to carry a black box warning stating that antidepressants may increase the risk of suicide in people younger than 25.[46] This warning is based on statistical analyses conducted by two independent groups of the FDA experts that found a 2-fold increase of the suicidal ideation and behavior in children and adolescents, and 1.5-fold increase of suicidality in the 18–24 age group.
