Firearms are the most common method of suicide among adolescents in the United States.

In 1996, firearms were used by 66.4 percent of male suicide victims and by 48.3 percent of female victims (aged 15 to 19). After firearms, the most common methods for adolescent males were hanging (including instances of strangulation and suffocation, 22.7 percent), gas poisoning (3.4 percent), and poisoning that involved solid or liquid substances (2.3 percent). Methods of suicides for female victims included hanging (29.3 percent), solid or liquid poisoning (12.1 percent), jumping from heights (3.1 percent), and gas poisoning (2.5 percent).

Males are also more successful in committing suicide as they are more likely to use methods that ensure that they die (e.g. guns). Females attempt more, but are less "successful".

I don't know. Jumping off bridges, OD'ing, gun, cutting the wrist, that's interesting. Let me see, of the people I've known who've done it, one hung himself and two shot themselves. That would be a good one to look up.
