NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Thursday, November 10, 2016, 5:31 PM NYC PAPERS OUT. Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpi While camp Trump was celebrating his win in the presidential election, a shocking number of Americans were calling suicide prevention hotlines.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline received 660 calls between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday — 2½ times the average.

“It clearly is and was an indication that there’s a lot of anxiety and fear around the election,” director John Draper told the Daily News.

The hotline often receives an uptick in calls during major events like natural disasters or even elections.

Hopefully the suicide line gets DDOSed and some snowflakes get a reality check.

This really sucks with all the indoctrination going on in our schools and of course, the media. If any of these kids do commit suicide, it’s on them for deceiving these kids.

It must be hell to live in a private world that can be shattered so easily, that one’s sense of self is so fleeting that it disappears with the smallest intellectual or political opposition.

That, and a whole generation has been taught if things don’t go their way, it’s OK to be “scared” - I have never seen so many snowflakes claiming Trump’s victory is personally SCARY to them. Good grief.

Maybe they are worried that under Trump, he might set Godzilla and Rodan loose into Manhattan?

Au revoir, auf wiedersehen
You won’t see another morning
You won’t see another evening
Good night

Buenos noches o senor
Senorita see ya later
Buenos noches bye-bye

There are many here among us
You feel that life is a joke
And for you we sing this final song
For you there is no hope

Sayonara oh suicide hari kari
Kamikaze you won’t
See another evening
Goodbye

Bye-bye so long, farewell
See you later, suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Suicide

Reminds me of the tv show Futurama where they had suicide kiosks in the city, why not?

We are raising a generation of people who can’t deal with reality.

Nobody is going to pamper them like Mommy and the University. They honestly don’t know what to do. Nobody ever said NO before.

It’s so unfair!

Yup. Public Education has pretty much rendered itself a threat to sanity.
