Men are forced to hide their feeling from the time they are small. If a young boy falls, the parents tell them to walk it off, but if a girl falls they usually run to them and tell them they will be ok and coddle them. It starts at such a young at that boys are supposed to suppress their feelings. I feel this could be one of the leading factors that men are at higher risk of suicide. Another thing I have read about why stats say men commit suicide more is because men do it in more violent ways then women, so it is less likely to survive an attempt.
