I think the constant overstimulation is the root cause.

My baby boomer father always found enjoyment in his expressing his belief that young people these days would be hurling themselves out of windows if another depression came our way. I found that odd since that is exactly what the generation before him did.

Yep, nothing signals you're weak like overcoming the biological urge of survival.

Researchers also found an alarming increase among girls 10 to 14, whose suicide rate, while still very low, had tripled. The number of girls who killed themselves rose to 150 in 2014 from 50 in 1999. “This one certainly jumped out,” said Sally Curtin, a statistician at the center and an author of the report.

American Indians had the sharpest rise of all racial and ethnic groups, with rates rising by 89 percent for women and 38 percent for men. White middle-aged women had an increase of 80 percent. The rate declined for just one racial group: black men. And it declined for only one age group: men and women over 75.
Even more evidence that we need more mental health programs.
I'll go ahead and say it. It's amazing. If the numbers were reversed between Black and White suicide rates, people would be screaming all over the place. Instead, it's a footnote. The white male suicide rates are staggering.

Pills and less social interaction

Definitely something that needs an increase.

My parents are nearing 60 and my dad said he's pretty sure he'll have to work until he dies.

Exactly. Something needs to be done about this. Mental health can't keep taking a backseat. Every mass shooting you briefly hear about how the person was mentally ill, then it's nonstop "gun control, gun control, gun control" talk. And the real issue...mental health is conveniently pushed aside.
I would guess the rise in suicides in girls 10 to 14 is mostly due to social media bullying. Imagine being 12-13 years old all over again. Being so painfully awkward that others made fun of you. And then add in that the teasing is now 24/7 cause it's done online and isn't just limited to the mean girls at your school....it's from everyone, including strangers you have never met. It's no wonder some of these poor children just snap and feel so hopeless that suicide seems to be the only way out for them.

I have no research to substantiate this, but I would assume a very large majority of these suicides are the result of hard economic times in which the man feels he can no longer provide for himself and those around him. At the risk of sounding racist, many black men abandon their families and have learned to live on very small monetary rations.

My mistake. Those poor brave souls that took their own lives. Maybe we should pin a gold star on their surviving family members lol.

The only deaths this country is concerned about are those at the hands of people of authority. This country doesn't care about black on black murders or white suicides.

That is like blaming a bartender for your alcoholism.

This is from the Megan Meier foundation. At ages 10 to 14, its hard to just ignore it.

71.9% reported being cyberbullied once or twice in the school year
19.6% reported once or twice a month
5.3% reported once or twice a week
3.1% reported almost everyday
