Suicide rates rising among Canadian girls

(Reuters Health) - A new study finds suicide rates for female teens and preteens in Canada rose over the past few decades while the overall number of kids who took their own lives was dropping.

Researchers with Canada's public health agency also noted a change in the youngsters' favored methods of suicide -- from guns or poisons, to suffocation by strangulation -- though they can't say why.
