   Suicide
   Suicide is intentional self-killing. This may be done directly, or as a result of neglecting to look after yourself. Since the 1960s the suicide rates have risen steeply among young people, especially young men who are four times more likely to kill themselves than young women. This is partly because of the methods most commonly used by men to kill themselves - hanging, gunshot wounds and car exhaust fumes - allow far less scope for medical treatment than those used by women (for whom poisoning is the most common).
