Here in New Zealand we have one of the highest rates of teen suicide. No-one knows why. Some think it's because we don't eat enough fish.

The author sites the relatively very high poverty rate, illiteracy, linguistic and cultural divisions, medical inaccessibility and political and social insecurity. Suicide rates are highest in the poor districts of the province.

farmers suffering from drought
too much pain from terminal cancer
