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.

The millenials are incredibly fragile - many of them still live at home, they've never really had to face reality. The future is not exactly in the best of hands.

IMO...any caller to the help-line, who *happens* to be as registered gun holder, should have their firearm[s] confiscated, for their own good, of course.

Hopefully it “dies” down as more are successful. The call center management has built in workforce attrition the more that off themselves

I think it’s awesome. Suicide sure beats them going to Canada and being an obnoxious bunch of ***holes up there. The Canadians never did anything to deserve that.

In Berlin, the preferred method of suicide was cyanide.

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!

That's no lie. I know a 30-somthing that was raised like this by his liberal parents and counts on the liberal culture,(big gov't, the media, entertainment industry, academia, etc.) for all his information. He is such a mess but he really didn't have much of a chance with all that going against him.
