Japan Has the Highest Rate of Suicides

In Tokyo the number of suicides declined but still remained in the 30,000. Japan for many years has the most suicides. Many due to depression, economic hardships and job related concerns, that is what the annual report by the National Police Agency said. 31,690 people killed themselves last year a 3.5% decrease from last year. About one-third were in their 20s including burly new graduates seeking jobs. Many now are alive; but stressing out. Like a university student last month seem to be stress from searching for a job that lead him to grab the steering wheel of a highway bus from the driver and caused it to flip and 12 persons were injured. He told police he wanted to commit suicide. Japan highest record of suicides was 34,424 in 20003.
Opinion : It is so interesting to know how economy could play a huge role in peoples mind. It makes me wounder if that would happen if we don't fix our economy.
