- the children born between the years 1974 and 1980, a sum of 2,790,166 abortions have taken place - the number of abortions between the same years have almost doubled between 1994 and 2000 - 2004- Teen girls between the ages of 15-17, account for 6% of abortions. -The girls between the ages of 18-19, account for 11% (10,964) abortions for this yr. - a total of 336,026 teen abortions have occurred between 1988-2004 - the children of teenagers usually have a higher chance of having lower birth weights and health problems - not only does it affect the children, but teens also. They have greater health risks including anemia, hypertension, depressive disorders, renal disease, and eclampsia.

 * // Suicide: //**

- men commit suicide at a rate four times higher than women; women make 3-4 more suicide attempts than men - in some studies, suicide rates had increased because of some specific groups, such as for Inuit people it's between 60 and 75 for every 100,000 people - 24% of all deaths among 15-24 yr-olds and 16% among 16-44 yr-olds

- Stats Canada states suicide is the 11th leading cause of deaths - depression rate increases suicide rates;depressed persons increase every year in November and December and returns to the normal trend in January

- July and August have the highest amount of suicides; studies suggest because of seasons changing, it changes personal situations as well

__**Plans**__

// Question: // Does the number of teen abortions in Canada have a correlation with suicide rates between the years 2000-2005? // Hypothesis: //Most of the population of teenagers under the age of 20 are in school and have to focus on their education; they're not ready to raise a family and/or financially ready to support a child. Having an abortion leads to depression, guilt, and psychological impairment. If the number of abortion rates decrease, I think that the number of suicide rates will decrease because of the awareness of AIDS and birth control being shown in school and public. Therefore, I hypothesize teen abortions will have a positive moderate correlation with suicide rates.

//One-Variable Analysis:// I plan to see the trends of suicide and abortions rates in Canada for each year. If there are any outliers, I'll research to see why the number was so high or low in that year and province. I can also take out any outliers when the two-variable analysis comes because it would affect the correlation coefficient. I'll also calculate the mean, median, and mode to see the averages per year and province. //Two-Variable Analysis:// I plan to see if there is a correlation between the years and provinces of teen abortion and suicide rates. If there is a trend, I'll more background information to see why there is a trend.
