Since SpicyHot posted the actual stats, it would appear that the "sensitivity" label place on females must be some kind of way of dealing with things rather than ending things.

males are as you can see from the statistics in a couple of the previous answers. but i think it is attempted more by females.

While females attempt suicide more than males do but their survival rates are much higher than males, that's because the methods they use (drug overdose, poison, drowning, starvation etc.) is lesser violent comparing to what men use (firearms, jumping of high building, stepping in front of train)
In a nutshell: women attempt suicide more often but men die from suicide more often.

Statisticly, it is young males. Realisticly, it's females.
