Wait a minute. The rate for boys IS OVER THREE TIMES THE GIRLS RATE, and they are so heavily concerned about a rise in the girls rate?What's new about that? All the hoo-ha is about breast cancer, with one in eight women likely to get it over a lifetime. How about prostate cancer, at a rate of one in SIX? We don't count.

Agreed, the stupid schools are promoting this by thinking they are educating and to prevent more bulling but all it is is a glorification of the “victim”. Same with the cutting epidemic.

So you can’t explain how it makes sense, figures.

I’ll be glad to explain it to you, when you explain what part is unclear.

What is is the relevance of your statement to this article, or to my post?
We all know that any private individual is allowed to start a group for causes like boy suicide, or girl suicide, or to clean up a parking lot, or whatever.

You and I seem to agree that suicide among boys is a much larger problem in terms of numbers than suicide among girls, and nothing is stopping men from doing something about it.
My point is, what are men waiting for?

If you want to start a private organization then do it, it won’t change the problem that I was describing though.

What are you waiting for? Men in general to take the problems faced by boys in the biased school system as seriously as I do. That's why I keep posting these messages.

OK, there's an idea.
it wont change the problem that I was describing though.
The comment I was replying to was "We look at those numbers of male versus female, and see that we have to worry about the female rate?". Whether the problem you're describing is the rates at which boys commit suicide, or the "authorities" placing a lower priority on suicides by boys even though the numbers are much higher, yes, men becoming more involved will solve it.

Good luck with that, for me, the bigger problem is the media and the government and the left, always pushing their agendas, and this article is an example.

I’m not sure which part you’re wishing me good luck on, but if it’s getting men to take any of this seriously, then yes. Unfortunately, none of those other problems are going to be fixed until that happens.
