Is Suicide Based on Individual Decision Only?

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

From previous posting (Increasing of Suicide Rate in America | Tanza Erlambang Update), then we may have a question that is whether suicide based on individual decision only?

The answer to this question could be found in the book written by McIntyre (2011. p.29-33: The Practical Skeptic: Core Concepts in Sociology 5th edition).


The author described about suicide from sociology perspective. Suicide is not only triggered by individual decision, but also by lack of social integration or social solidarity.

In case of married couple that increasing of divorce rate could increase social isolation or feel lonely, thus unmarried persons more likely to die due to suicide.

Then, in case of teenage girl’s suicide, the cause could be many factors or very complex.

As said by Cornwell (2017: Suicide rate in teen girls reaches 40-year high) that some reasons for girls to suicide are over access to social media and an ongoing lack of mental-health resources.


It is need for parents, educators, communities, and relevant policy makers to address the stigma of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.


Sadly, suicide is immediate or eventual death accomplished by the victims themselves.


The suicide is at alarming rate in the USA. People with social impaired is the most vulnerable to commit suicide.

  2. I agree with Tom. It is an individual problem, as we all are individuals and what we see might not be a clear picture. And as part of being the friend, the teacher, and even the soul mate, there is only so much we can do.

  3. Just as this recent massacre in Texas, we might never know why he did what he did. However, it does seem to be trending, especially in young males wanting the police to kill them. Of course, he was wearing body armor. And as much as we hope to help those with mental health issues, there are those who fall through the cracks.

  5. It is so sad. Social media is really horrible for young people (adults too) so I can see how the teen rate has increased as much as it has in recent years.

    Your 4th picture shows a typical green grass we used to see in Spring. Also like the rainbow in the evening (picture n. 3)

  14. Yes we have really talented people like topmodels or singers =)

    This sounds really good =)
    I love strawberry too <3

    Really interesting post. It's sad that people don't find another way than suicide.
    In my childhood I had also thoughts about that because everyone hates me but now I know I don't need that all people loves me ^^
