(June 2016) Suicides have become the second-leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States, surpassing homicide deaths, which dropped to third on the list (see Figure 1). The teenage suicide rate increased from 8 deaths per 100,000 in 1999 to 8.7 deaths per 100,000 in 2014.
The death rate for teens ages 15 to 19 also declined between 1980 and 2014, from 98 to 46 per 100,000, though there was a period of considerably higher rates during the late 1980s.

For example, in 2014, the death rate for children under age 1 was nearly 13 times higher than the rate for children ages 15 to 19, the group with the next highest mortality (588 and 46 per 100,000, respectively).
