Suicide rates for Black children are now at a record breaking high - surpassing other races

As Suicide Rates For Black Children Rise, Protecting Emotional Heath Is Vital

Not surprised in the least. Mental health is a serious problem in the black community that isn't taken seriously enough. Praying to white Jesus & telling your child to "man up" clearly isn't working.

that's messed up

Every black person should see a therapist at least once in their life. It's cancerous to hold all this bullshyt in.

 

[GoldTeef]

hm, wonder what the reason behind it is.

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

A combination of broken families, crime filled neighborhoods, being shut out of the economy, terrible schools, and a culture where young black boys are expected to be "hard" and suppress any normal human emotions.

We really need to address mental health in our community and not just write it off as a white people problem.

At the same time, there is a dangerously low number of black psychologists.

Why do you nikkas love saying "our" and "we" all the time

Too many liberal parents raising weak children, and I personally don't believe black people on a whole have mental health issues

Literally ALL of that has been present for the last 40 years or so, so why the spike now?

this, and all those factors are even less prevalent today than in previous decades

and just for clarification. This study references children aged 5-11 and the suicide rates for that particular group of black children have been greater than that of white children of the same age group since atleast the early 90s

this is the study being referenced
