About 40 Seconds
Did you know that one person commits suicide every 40 seconds worldwide? Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in young people. The suicide rate is higher than all the yearly victims of wars and natural disasters combined. Have you ever felt sad or lonely? You are not alone.

However, we do not know about the people who commit suicide every 40 seconds world wide. Although suicide is a serious public health problem, it is shocking that most of us know so little about it. Trapped in the world of smartphones, we have lost our faces. Please find a person who will commit suicide before 40 seconds pass!
