Whereas those things are of major importance ofcourse. And what if all those murders/suicides are not being researched correctly, so what if the data is not correct at all. The difference between inward and outward response does have different reasons, but is above all based on personality differences and life circumstances, body & mental health etc. Suicides are being committed due to so many reasons, as murders ... which can not be plainly be explained by what part of the world you come from. It's way too general. There are so many other factors which can be of major importance here .. that it may not be at all the part of the world but also all that other stuff that happened to go on in that part during the period these studies focusses on, next to the things I already mentioned above. I dont see the use of this type of studies, and what kind of weird name is ... Global Burden of Disease ... The outbursts of those youngsters all of a sudden running into their school and shooting like crazy .... that apparently was not interesting enough to study ...
