The "News" is not news at all. It is manipulation. It is sensationalized. Its is business to sell stuff to women, who do most of the TV watching and spend most of the family money. And frankly, no one cares about the condition of white males, or most hispanic males either. TV is all about women, for the most part.

I have always found it odd that white males and Asian females are the groups with the highest suicide rates

Just because people think your life should be easy doesn't mean that's the case.

Oh white males are unhappy? Yeah. The world isn't theirs anymore for many reasons, sexual, professional, legal, political. So, no surprise they are unhappy and looking for a way out. I am sure that in 20 years I am going to wish I wasn't a white male either.

The world was never ours. That is a fiction created by gender feminists looking for a scapegoat on whom to blame their unhappiness and the lack of fulfillment in their lives. That they have largely succeeded in enlisting the educational, legal, and political professions in their campaign of abject misandry is evidence of their willingness to sacrifice our society so that they can be vindicated in their hatred.

And guess what? They are bitterer and more unhappy than ever:

The white male part I understand and am not surprised at in the least bit.

But Asian females? This one is surprising.

Asian-American Women More Likely To Attempt Suicide : NPR


Almost 16 percent of all U.S.-born Asian-American women have contemplated suicide in their lifetimes — compared to 13 percent of all Americans — according to new findings by the University of Washington. The study also finds that U.S. born Asian-American women are more likely to attempt suicide than other groups


Among all Asian-Americans, those aged 20-24 had the highest suicide rate (12.44 per 100,000). Among females from all racial backgrounds between the ages of 65 and 84, Asian-Americans had the highest suicide rate.

A Hidden Tragedy: Mental Illness and Suicide Among Asian Americans


According to the American Psychological Association, using the year 2007 as case study, suicide “was the second leading cause of death for Asian-Americans aged 15-34.” The website ReAppropriate, which advocates for Asian American concerns, estimates that the three students who killed themselves are part of about 150 college-aged Asian Americans who will die by suicide this year.

Hahm hears it all the time—people expressing shock when they learn that among young women of all ethnicities, Asian Americans have the second highest suicide rate. (The highest rate is among Native Americans.) This data, from the National Center for Health Statistics, as well as research indicating growing alcoholism, drug abuse, and HIV risk among young Asian American women, shatters the “model minority” stereotype that casts young Asians as exemplary high achievers who put their studies and family obligations above the often-risky diversions of many of their non-Asian peers.

Depression starts even younger than age 15. Noh says one study has shown that as young as the fifth grade, Asian-American girls have the highest rate of depression so severe they've contemplated suicide.
