I have noticed from reading newspapers online that coroners almost never seem to record a verdict of suicide on the under 16s, -unless there is a very clear note, and even then the coroner often decides they 'didn't really mean it'. I can understand that parents and family would much rather believe that their teenager has been carelessly playing with a scarf/tie/cord around their neck which is attached to something high, but I do wonder if this perhaps hides the true statistics of young teenagers who chose so drastic a 'solution'. (And therefore hides the problem).
