Statistics on Suicide

Statistical Ratio:As reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)

Nationally:

In 2008, there was a national reported number of suicide for those between the ages of 15-24 years being that of 4,298 across the United States.

The following is the ratio breakdown given from the CDC:

10-14 year olds = 215 suicides = 1.1 / 100,000 in this age group15-19 year olds = 1,604 suicides = 7.4 / 100,000 in this age group

20-24 year olds = 2,694 suicides = 12.6 / 100,000 in this age group


12

Statistics on Suicide

Statistical Ratio:As reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)

Indiana:

Taking the total statewide student enrollment for 2009 / 2010 as the base number and calculating that by 8.5* for every 100,000 then as a whole the state of Indiana can estimate that 95 students would have committed suicide.

In consideration of the approximate number of students bullied in 2009 / 2010 it can be estimated that 23 students may have committed suicide in Indiana because of bullying.

In Indianapolis it can be approximated that 13 had committed suicide overall with 3 having committed suicide because of bullying.

* Basing this on 1.1 for 10-14 yr olds plus 7.4 for 15-19 yr olds as calculated by the CDC


13

What is bullying?

Currently defined in Indiana as:

“overt, repeated acts or gestures, including: (1) verbal or written communications transmitted; (2) physical acts committed; or (3) any other behaviors committed, by a student or group of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the other student.” (IC 20-33-8-0.2)

http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title20/ar33/ch8.html


14

What is bullying?

An attempt to change the definition:

In 2011 Indiana Senator Thomas Wyss and House Representative Greg Porter attempted to make a legislative change in the definition. That attempted change consisted of a constitutionally sound inclusion of the word phrasing “digital and electronic communications.” This was an important aspect for issues relating to acts that fall under both of the blanketed terms of bullying and cyber-bullying. Neither of these Bills made it through legislation in that session but they will soon be resurfacing.


15

What is bullying?

Having a constitutionally sound definition for any particular legislative Bill is important so that those within our legislative, judicial and administrative branches of government can make certain that those laws are maintained, held in compliance and are justly carried out for those who reside in the community.

However, to put it more simply in this instance

Bullying and Cyber-bullying

are two blanketed terms used to cover specific actions intentionally committed by an individual, or group of individuals, that are physical and / or psychological in nature to which would purposely cause physical and / or psychological distress / harm towards the intended targeted victim.
