Here's the "REASON".
If you lived here, had no money, and no chance of EVER leaving the DR,
YOU would kill yourself too!
For me, living in the DR is like going "camping" in the wilderness.
It's fun, something different, lots of surprises,gives one the feeling that you are a "survivor,BUT, always knowing that you can pack up your gear, and go back to civilization whenever you choose, makes it tolerable!
We all have a "Ticket Out", "Dominicanos" don't!!!!

Great article. Basically the reasons are a more materialistic society that puts pressure on young people to succeed monetarily and also because of moral bankruptcy and the rejection of the "tradici?n judeo cristiana.

Regarding the former I have witnessed this myself among young men, ie it is difficult to find a girlfriend because they are not considered well off enough even though they have a full time job.

As long as Dominican youth continue to be enamored by the American materialistic lifestyle and worthless music these problems can't get any better.

Chip,
I see you're training for my faith. May the force be with you!
When I'm without a girlfriend and sex I also feel life is not worth living, must be the hormones.
Missed all your excitement! :classic:

Welcome back Chip and Pollo

Suicides in the modern age are tied to industrialized societies where pressures to earn and privide baubles ie cars flash clothing etc cause depression. Without money most men in this society are worthless. It feels even more so in the DR. Try to get a pity **** being broke. LOL Not a chance.
Japan has the highest suicide rate. THose kids have clubs and such.

This is an interesting thread because I once had a friend name Lelo who owned a jet ski business in Sosusa - Financially he did quite well but I heard from a friend that a few years ago he committed suicide over a girl =( So sad, he was a good guy and I wouldn't have expected that he would do that.

i think lately suicides in DR get a lot off media attention. hopefully it will lead to some changes like easy access to psychological and psychiatric help. i do not think DR has a suicide helpline either. another good idea. sometimes suicides are well planned and the desperation of the person is so great they will do anything to kill themselves. but sometimes it is an impulse, one moment of feeling so low that no other option seems to exist. those people would really benefit from a helpline. or even from friends who would listen...

Then you come here in trying to get some help under the table so to speak and people make fun at you, talk about not reading between the lines, or really, listening.

Hi DV8. the link below had a date of 10/10/13, but i wasn't certain if the story was up to date. I thought Padre Billini had undergone a restoration and although a free hospital had a reputation for decent care. This article was sad, indeed.

On another thread a link led to a gov official commenting on the Constitutional amendment/clarification. He presented as point of strategy to purposely disallow Dominicans from leaving the island. Is this a factor, or is it just countries won't give visas cuz they won't leave? I would be desperate to get off that island if I were born there.

I am reminded of the "polak" who came home early from work one day.
He found his wife in bed with his best friend.
He got his pistol, and pointed it at his head.
His wife and friend began to laugh.
He said, "What's SO Funny, You're NEXT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
I wonder if the Dominicans who kill themselves, realize, that, "Suicide is a Permanent "Solution", to a Temporary Problem"????
Remembering THAT, has saved my life more than once!!!!
