32,000!!!!?!! That is a LOT of people taking their own lives! Wow. If those numbers don't alarm the Asian community than I don't know what will. Those are some serious numbers.I was just reading something the other day about Asian females having the highest suicide rate of all people. It is probably because of all of the pressure put on them to be high achievers and excel at everything. Don't get me wrong, it is great to do well in life, but to the pressure can be something else.Just a thought.
