They probably were probaly quite a few; just not reported. There were more important issues to report on. Remember in those days there were alot of emigration. People had hopes then.

Riff, how do you suggest they solve this problem? If you had to advise them what would you tell them? Which political party said during the last election campaign that once elected, crime will be solved?  Has crime increased from May 11, 2015 under to now under APNU/AFC compared to the same periond in 2014 under the PPP/C?

Why are you worrying about 30 years ago, when it is the more recent era that you ought to be concerned about.

30 years ago people thought that suicide was decadence, and I think that those who survived an attempt were actually viewed as criminals.  Certainly not as people deserving of help.

Since then we are more enlightened, and so  I would have expected the PPP to have made this a priority.  Especially given that the vast majority of those who kill themselves are their support base.

Yet the Indo KKK screams "black man a kill ahbe".  Yes every thing wrong in Guyana is "blackman", even if an Indian girl kills her self because her father is raping her.

Those who forget and/or neglect history are destined to be making irrelevant statements.

D_G, I'll recommend to Penguin Publishers to put your wise words in their Dictionary of Quotations. That's a good one!!!

reminder...this topic is about suicide

SUicide needs to be addressed in every village in Guyana....kids need to know that they could go to a confidential person if they have problems...not people who like gossip

The whole village culture needs a radical change....
