There is something happening that is driving these poor people to end their lives and I wonder if technology is driving it

People are shown images all over what great life is like for other people (false reality) on YT and SM and even though we're more connected we're actually father apart. Dating and marriage is declining, wages aren't increasing as much overall, we're working to older ages, people lose hope and commit that

For the first time, the gun suicide rate among Black teens surpassed the rate among white teens, the researchers found.

Sad stuff. But where does it mention that the rate for Black teens is higher?

‘All black men need therapy!’ has been a thing in recent years. We (y’all) are listening and going, yet suicide rates are thru the roof


Kids in elementary school being taught about mental health and even put in therapy for small shyt…youth suicide thru the roof

You start validating everyone’s inner fears its a very tangled web.

It's one thing to have an awful take but to quote it and repeat it elsewhere is especially impressive.

Absolutely.

The tech nowadays not only affects people psychologically/emotionally, it causes real physical changes in our brains.

worse than the 60's?
worse than pre Civil Rights era?

life has never been easier/better.

the internet has made it too easy for folks to compare themselves to others...
makes them miserable.
what they have is never enough.

My bad. I've seen a report earlier this year, and it was about gun homicides/suicides. I saw the rates by age and race.
This article is for total suicides.
