According to the World Health Organization, of the ten nations who have the highest rate of suicide, Finland comes in at 10th place.\\xa0 Number nine, Kazakhstan, eight, Ukraine, seven, Slovenia.\\xa0 Coming in at sixth place is Hungary, at fifth, Estonia and at fourth place is Latvia.\\xa0
I think you see where I\\u2019m going with this.\\xa0
Now the final three nations with the highest suicide rate.\\xa0 In third place is Belarus, in second is Russia and the number one nation with the highest suicide rate in the world is\\u2026Lithuania.\\xa0 What\\u2019s up with that?

According to the World Health Organizaton statistics, in the year 2000, 75 men and 16 women of every thousand people kill themselves in Lithuania.\\xa0 Evidently a number of health organizations are studying the problem but no solution as of yet.

Now let\\u2019s spend a few lessons talking about numbers.\\xa0 Yep, you knew it was coming sooner or later!

Unfortunately, we have both masculine and feminine numbers.\\xa0 Now, don\\u2019t get depressed, once you learn them you can show off to your friends.\\xa0 Here we go!\\xa0 Let\\u2019s do masculine numbers first.
