Who says it's great being a kid? American youngsters are 12 times more likely to die by gunfire than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. And American children are five times more likely to be killed by any other means than their industrialized counterparts. In the United States, the homicide rate for children under 15 is 2.57 of every 100,000, compared to 0.51 per 100,000 in other industrialized countries. U.S. kids are also twice as likely to commit suicide. The U.S. rate is 0.55 for every 100,000 children. In the rest of the industrialized world, the rate is 0.27 per 100,000. Tricks are for kids.
