Public health data shows a sharp rise in persistent sadness, anxiety, and depression among teenage girls, driven by a combination of biological shifts, heavy social media use, and cultural pressures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 57% of high school girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in recent years, a substantial increase over the prior decade

The women that can outvote all men put together.

Of course, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the feminazis have teenage boys terrified to even talk to these girls without running the risk of getting kicked out of school or even sent to prison for the slightest f*cking microaggression.

That, and the only young men that will put up their physical, emotional abuse, are the soy betas who are already immasculated, which the girls can't respect. And don't get the pleasure of trying to take it from them, because they have none.
And the ones that they want to use as an ATM machine won't give them the time of day.

My daughter isn't in high school yet, but I haven't detected any of that with her. Having suffered from anxiety and depression myself, I'm really trying to notice it if and when it arises although it's not like it's usually easily detectable.

When I grew up, going a few miles away was a pretty big deal, even at 16. Anywhere I couldn’t go on my bike. This and my church was the boundary of external influences on me. Public schools, so the most I had to compare myself to was what Nike’s were in style or getting the latest Mossimo shirt. The world was small around me, so to speak.

Exposing kids to social media has resulted in the entire world being at their fingertips. This results in the feeling of being even smaller or more insignificant in the world due to the infinite comparisons and influences.

So you propose wishing the problem away?

In other words, they are at least making an attempt to understand the issue while your sole response is to whine about them doing so.

Its the same reason many adult women have gone insane. They stare at their phones 24/7.

Social media has fried their young minds. Should be illegal for anyone under 18 to participate. Kids are no longer able to just be kids while they figure out the world and how it works.

Historical Teen Suicide Rates
Overview of Trends
Teen suicide rates have shown a concerning upward trend over the years, particularly among individuals aged 10-24. The following sections detail the changes in suicide rates over specific periods.

Key Statistics by Age Group

Age Group Time Period Suicide Rate Change

10-14: 2007-2018 Tripled from 0.9 to 2.9 per 100,000

15-19: 2009-2017 Increased by 57% from 7.5 to 11.8 per 100,000

10-24: 2007-2021 Increased by 62% from 6.8 to 11.0 per 100,000


So what cased this spike after 2006?

The smart phone hit the main stream that year, coincidence?

Exactly. FACT - The Democrat Militant Feminist Movement is in the process of destroying America. Some regions faster than others. I shall never forget that story I read somewhere about a group of feminist strolling through (I believe it might have been the Smithsonian Institute) a museum. Nestled amongst the exhibits was a depiction of a traditional American family. One of the feminist was heard to remark - I've spent my whole life fighting that sexist institution.

Meanwhile our birth rate is cratering. With all the social, economic, and spiritual malaise that will bring.

Then there's this abortion thing. Abortion (the darling of the feminist movement) has so decimated our population the democrats had to adopt an open borders policy to bring in illegal aliens (and figure out a way to steal elections) to save their representation in Congress. Yep, 67,000,000 aborted babies and counting.

Meanwhile traditional oriented Fillipino and Thai women beckon American men with - me love you long time. A win-win situation for both participants - lonely American men get great wives, and the host countries get influx of American dollars to prop up their economies.

All together repeat after me - feminism, abortion and infanticide kills babies and destroys nations

I thank the great good Lord that my childhood/teenage years were the 80's and 90's. I would not like growing up today. From my experience with raising my own children, I believe they do have more social and cultural pressure than we did. I attribute this to a large part to social media. We could escape from it - we went home at the end of the day, on weekends, and during the summer and could cut off the things we faced in school, etc. except with out own select group of friends. With social media, it is constant. Kids and teenagers are bombarded with so much information, a lot of which they don't need to see at their ages. Let kids be kids, and let teenagers be teenagers. I am so thankful that my three turned out well and have become productive adults. It was hard work keeping them in that direction.
