RE: As a Disabled Combat Veteran, Why Foster Children Suicide Rates Concern Me More Than Veteran Suicide Rates

in #life7 years ago (edited)

"A little known fact to the general US population is that foster youth are 3-5 times more likely to commit suicide than same age peers, are two and a half times more likely to think about possibly committing suicide, and four times more likely to make a suicide attempt."

This statistic really shocking me here. U.S. government should bring more awareness and pay attention on this "Teen's suicide" issue.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing the facts and your thoughts with all the Steemians, @entreprenuer916
