Statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are shocking.
The report revealed that between 2007 and 2018, the suicide rate among people aged 10 to 24 increased by 57%.
Statistics show that between 2016 and 2018 alone, the suicide rate dropped by 47%.
The report also revealed that suicide was the second leading cause of death among people aged 10 to 24 and 15 to 35 in 2018.
Experts fear a rise in suicides in the wake of the statistics and the current situation caused by the corona virus.
Experts say mental health problems could be multiplied if children are made to stay at home instead of being sent to school to reduce the spread of the corona virus.
He added that restrictions on the corona virus have crippled the social life of children and young people and left them lonely, leading to a rise in mental stress and other mental illnesses.
The CDC report also found that suicide rates among people aged 10 to 24 were higher in less populous states such as Alaska, Montana, New Mexico and others.
The report also found that suicide rates at this age were extremely low in the affluent and densely populated northern states.
