For the first time, black teenage suicide rates overtake white teenage suicide rates

[BaggerofTea]

Lack of 2 parent household

Some of these black folks can go out here and fukk and enjoy the time together

But when that kid drop 9 months later and responsibility kicks in then u see the abandonment of the father and the anger in the mother and the kid witnesses this back and forth between mom and dad and thats fukked up these kids mentals..

And social media even makes it worse because a lot of them kids turned to social media for a getaway just to add on more fukked up people

has nothing to do with two parent households or lack thereof......

It’s great that PBS published this story, but when are our legislators and politicians going to start putting funding and research in to curb this problem?

The video in the OP is based on a Pew research report (link here) that is based on data from WONDER.

These are the notes on the data used:



I tried to replicate their finding but came up with different suicide rates for both non-hispanic blacks and whites 10-19 in 2022, with whites being higher (link here).

Single Race 6​	Deaths	Population	Crude Rate Per 100,000
Black or African American	380	5,817,757	6.5
White	1,517	21,313,218	7.1
Total	1,897	27,130,975	7.0

Am I missing something?

I got almost the exact same thing....I am wondering if some revisions got sneaked into the data set or they left out some method?
