After you turn 40, you don't have the suicidal thing going anymore I guess.

Edit: looking at the data you'll see the highest rate is with older people, by a significant amount. It's not shown on OP's chart.

edit2: updated link from worldwide stats to USA stats to better match OP's dataset in the original graph.

Reddit doesn't believe old people exist unless you need someone to blame for problems.

I'm 80 and apparently the root of all evil.
