About 40,000 young people aged 10 to 24 die every year. The death rates from what are considered preventable injuries, such as car crashes, steadily decreased in the last decade, but homicide and suicide rates rose dramatically, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. The biggest jump was among the youngest children the CDC studied. The suicide rate among children aged 10-14 jumped 75 percent from 1979 to 1988, the latest data available, the CDC said. There were 1.4 suicides for every 100,000 children in that age group in 1988.

The murder rate rose 41.7 percent from 1979 to 1.7 per 100,000 in the 10-14 age group in 1988, the CDC reported. In the 10-24 age group overall, suicides jumped 7.9 percent to a rate of 9.6 per 100,000, and homicides increased 6.7 percent to a rate of 115 per 100,000. "We shouldn't accept this kind of mortality and suffering for our kids when it's entirely preventable," said Dr. Lloyd Kolbe, director of CDC's division of adolescent health. New Mexico had the highest overall youth suicide rate 19.9 per 100,000.

Among 10-to 14-year-olds, Utah had the highest rate 4.6 per 100,000.
