Even though life in Russia is tough for many, suicides are very rare. But the rate is still pretty high - relative to some other countries. Why don't you do a search on Google instead of asking others. Here it is: http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide_rates/en/index.html http://fathersforlife.org/health/who_suicide_rates.htm

GIRL IN MUSEUM: Yes it is. WOODY ALLEN: What does it say to you? GIRL IN MUSEUM: It restates the negativeness of the universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence, nothingness, the predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity, like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void, with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless bleak straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos. WOODY ALLEN: What are you doing Saturday night? GIRL IN MUSEUM: Committing suicide. WOODY ALLEN: What about Friday night?

I don't know what you are talking about with a suicide buddy, but thanks for the link anyway. I was asking a question about an serious issue. I will keep asking for information. Thank you.
