Almost every week our local paper carries reports of young men who have died "suddenly" or "tragically " , these are invariably suicides . The new section in the local cemetary where my wife is buried are mainly graves of young people , teens ,twenties and thirties . This part is only five years old and according to the caretaker almost all of them are suicides ,many of the remainder victims of car crashes .In reply to the original posting , that's what it's like in my area . I live in the south east of Ireland
