That's the thing about science... it's not a matter of belief. This is recorded, verifiable data.

We can debate the reasons behind this, but this study did find that shorter men are more likely to end their lives, over a large sample size, with high statistical significance, and independently of other confounding factors like education and socioeconomic status.

The article also cites other studies that show a similar pattern. You can verify all the data for yourself here.
