The article being shared says that the rate of suicides is 11.1 per 100,000 for youth between 10 and 17.

354,129 / 100,000 is 3.54. 3.54 times 11.1 is 39.2.
So according to my math there were 39 or 40 suicides / year.
Do these numbers seem low?
Obviously one suicide is horrible, but I think those numbers are sadly low.
Your thoughts?
