Suicide rates among America's young people continue to soar, study shows

But the story says that "Among teens 15 to 19, the suicide rate was 8 per 100,000 people in 2000 and then increased to 11.8 per 100,000 in 2017. Among young adults 20 to 24, the suicide rate was 12.5 per 100,000 people in 2000 and then rose to 17 per 100,000 in 2017". So the 15-19 year-old's suicide rate increased to about the old 20-24 year-old's rate, while the 20-24 year-old's suicide rate went even higher.
It would be good to know the rates at finer age bins, though, since there is a significant change in life after high school, and then after college (for those to attend), which might help identifying the problems.
