  • Perhaps if the residents of the city accepted the fact that at present the official name of the city is Londonderry, it might go a small way to help them establish some kind of personal stability. When given a positive identity people can build to overcome their insecurities which are the root of most suicides.

  • VERY GOOD STORY. ALTHOUGH I DON''T SEE WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE NAME OF THE CITY AS THE OTHER COMMENT SAID. WHY BRING POLITICS INTO IT?

  • That's so odd that there's a small handful of regions around the world who are now facing what they call "suicide epidemics." (Most of Japan, for instance is dealing with this)
