The hit in the 11-14 demographic is rather concerning. It’s before the big wave of gaokao prep really hits (and thus precedes the job search stress), so it’s a really concerning demographic without a clear root cause.
I think you hit the nail right on the head, the unrelenting academic stress
The USA is seeing similar problems https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/index.html
Suicide is the second leading cause of deaths in US children age 10 - 14
It went from 0.2/100k to 0.8/100k. In aggregate, that’s 800 people? I wonder how much of that is due to improved reporting given the lapse of the one-child policy, though.
If it jumped 10% annually since 2010 wouldn’t that make it 130% or am I bad at maths
