Since the fact is a set of numbers for decades ago, I made a small research on the latest data.
According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, the number of death by all causes is 2,893, and the number of suicide is 425. Therefore, the percentage of suicide is approximately 14.7%.
The situation has been getting worse through the past decades.

I chose to use Teddy bear to represent the fact is about young death. The illustrations are a sequence of actions that the teddy bear takes to cut itself. The sizes of the bears are in proportion as the data increases.

The blue color theme represented the sadness in reading the fact.
