Probably more troubling for the teens themselves and their parents than for the CDC .... hey, it all counts against Holdren’s goal of a 95% population reduction.

The rise in communicable diseases and diseases thought to have been extinguished in this country should be at least as troubling to the CDC.

I suspect it’s social media nonsense. Makes kids crazy when things don’t go right, and the pack turns on you. Kids are ruthless online. Sure adults know it doesnt matter, but kids take everything too personally.

This is a very poorly written article. It sounds like the CDC is upset with suffocation vs poisoning because “it is more fatal”. What?! Suicides went down in 2007 and now are creeping back up.. and social media is being questioned?

Progressives love it. More people die, and they get to exert more control. Win win.

“She bullied me on Facebook. My friends in 7th grade aren’t speaking to me. I’m going to kill myself.”

Too many parents are ignorant when it comes to Social Media.

Nihilism would be a guess.

Sung to the tune of an old toy commercial ...

Suffo-caaaa-tion,
Brand new! Suffocation.
Suffo-caaaa-tion, the game we love to play!
First you get a plastic bag,
Then you get a rubber band.
Over your head ...
Then you're dead.
Hu-ray-ay-ay-ay!

Darned but I can't remember the actual toy behind the tune/jingle (which emphatically was NOT a game of suffocation), but I am pretty sure it was a Kenner product. I recall the mangled lyrics from the early to mid 1960's.

He actually said “data don’t”? As opposed to “data doesn’t”?

Because of a tremendous increase in vice(loss of meaningful structure.) teens are in love with death both individually and collectively.

They have no idea. No idea at all.

We grew up in stable homes, with married parents, with unlocked doors. We knew what sex we were and right from wrong and what was expected of us. No, life wasn’t perfect and sometimes things were hidden but by and large life was much more secure for young folks than it was now. Two girls in my school I knew of got pregnant - I’m sure more, but I didn’t know about it. We didn’t talk about it. It wasn’t anyone’s business.

Now kids have NO stablility at all - they don’t know what sex they are, if their parents will stay together, if their parents will have secure jobs, who God is (we all knew - we all went to church or whatever) and even if we didn’t, we understood He was in control. I’ve said for years the fruit of liberalism is going to be a giant mess of mental illness manifested in our children, who are terrified and unhappy and have no idea how to face life - and here comes the social media and our oversexed society to put every extra drop of pressure on them it can.

The bulwark of security for America was the family and faith, and liberals have destroyed that for so many. So the kids are left with no safety net. And the state doesn’t understand “WHY” they can’t face life.

I’m angry.

Huh? Dead is dead. Why is it any more shocking when it’s suffocation versus pills?

And I blame facebook. I’m not some fuddy duddy that just hates new things. Everywhere you go the kids are glued to their phones getting the latest update. They have no social skills, no coping skills, no friends, and all they see on facebook is how great everyone’s life is while they toil through their daily routines. (How many people post mundane things on facebook?) Then, once they hit the gawky teen years they are ruthlessly bullied. Of course the simple solution is not get the kids cell phones and internet but that won’t happen any time soon.
