Raquel Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I really want to know how many people kill themselves on Valentines Day. But I can't find the information anywhere. Search engines are my enemy. So, if anyone knows, or can tell me where I might look, it'd be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinpao Lee Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 [FONT=Arial Narrow]Try searching for "Valentines Day" and look on Wikipedia and similar sites!! :animeknow [/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquel Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I did. The searches gave me a whole bunch of obituary sites, but they don't specify for suicide, and Wikipedia gave me suicide songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowChemical Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 [COLOR=Silver][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]There no real specific range of people that kill themselve on Valentines Day. Is like the same thing they say that people kill themselves on christmas. There was actually a research on what months and holidays does sucide go up. The result was that sucide doesn't go up at holidays, certain months, or certain day times. People just kill themselves whenever. You can go to ask jeeves or so if you really insist. I not sure any other sites that might help you. I hope that helped a little[/FONT][/SIZE] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwind Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 If your looking for the highest time of year for suicide that would be around the Christmas season. Despite they call it the most cheerful time of year, people sure get awfully depressed during this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retribution Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 [size=1]My god, Kiyana -- there's [b]no reason to take your life because of a holiday.[/b] The picture you posted was rather disturbing. I suppose this wouldn't be a good time for me to voice my opinion on how I feel about those who 'hate valentines day.' >_>[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would turn into a endless argument don't you think? If you really want to know about sucide rates in Valentine you should type in " Sucide Rates over the months". If you get some result it would give you some clue. If sucide rates go up in december or febuary then the rumors are true. Yet for my opinion I think that personal will can not be charted. Like my friends like to say "When in doubt, google it" :cool: [/SIZE] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 [COLOR=#646546][SIZE=1]Actually, suicide rates go down during the winter months then up during spring. Says so in [URL=http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/suifacts.htm][b]this[/b][/URL] site. Methinks it's more reliable than Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary (please pray for its immediate deliverance).[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquel Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I asked Jeeves... He said "Here, run around in a circle for a while." lol I'll try the other ones... Thanks. I'll post the number if I ever find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 [color=crimson] I'd say, if there are no abnormal suicide rate statistics fro Valentines day, there are no abnormal suicide rates. It's like the Christmas suicide urban legend, which was debunked by Snopes.com. As the legend goes, "a holiday or special day like Valentines which epmhasises togetherness and family/love will inevitably greaten the pain of those who do not have that special someone, driving many to end it all." However, there is no fact behind this assumption Though it is an easy conclusion to come to, it is most likely that suicide rates stay steady as most victims will procrastinate and mull over the though of taking their own life before going ahead on the plan, unless they're completely sadist and 100% self-loathing.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syrius Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Not to get off of topic, but is there a place to post pics here? i have one relating to V-day, i thought it amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatanaViolet Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 aww that's depressing... I hope that not many people kill themselves on Valentine's Day... personally I think it's stupid... well, suicide is stupid on it's own... it's such a selfish act, and to think that someone would kill themselves because they are alone on Valentine's Day makes it seem even more selfish! But I guess it still happens... I would think that the suicide rate would be higher for Christmas time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
