As the above link shows, this is primarily a problem with Caucasians where teens are committing suicide at far higher rate than other ethnicities (except for American Indians). This is a very worrying trend and all parents should be concerned, I think. What can parents do to lower this rate? What is going on here and what can be learned from other ethnicities?
