From the Paper:

"Suicide presents itself in many different fashions and to a variety of people. Suicidal thoughts disturb the minds of young and old, male and female, and across the world. Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary refers to suicide as "the act or instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind" (2004). Barrett (1989) tells us that "suicide does not discriminate among sex, race, creed, nationality, intelligence, health, social status, occupation, marital status, or age", and with several methods of suicide available, sadly people find it easy to select a method that is accomplishable for them."
