Addiction to a dangerous drug:
In America between 1946 and 2006, the suicide rate quadrupled for males ages 15 to 24 and doubled for females the same age.
— In 1950, the suicide rate per 100,000 Americans was 11.4. In 2017, it was 14.
First it is using two different date ranges. 2006 and 2017 are significantly different data points. I suspect that although suicide rates may have increased between 1950 and 2006/2017, that there were probably a lot of suicides not reported as such back in the 1940/50s.
My youngest daughter was 19 when we lost her to suicide. She had a history of drug use and I believe that contributed greatly.
Because our educators tell them they are.
Democrats and other flavors of leftists, preaching hate for themselves. Running down who you are. Telling you how you must feel guilty and bad.
Piss on all of them.
Many are raised by LIB loser parents.
Many are “educated” by LIB loser “educators”.
Many believe what the leftist LIB losers tell them about the world...and their potential.
Many are brainwashed by the “climate change” anti-science idiocy.
Many believe either taking RX drugs or illicit drugs is the answer.
Many have no moral and/or religious sense.
Many are perpetually weak.
We've taught them to be?
24/7/365 drumbeat of "You deserve this" from media, and I do NOT have it; would make even ME 'unhappy'!!
In the end, we get the government we deserve.
around 30 years of ritalin and participation trophies...
Friday ping.
Don’t have to read to comment. Young people tend to be liberal. Liberalism is an unhappy movement. It’s fuel is angst, victimhood, worry, crisis, and predictions of impending doom.
How can followers of such a philosophy be ‘happy’?
Young people are unhappy without Jesus in their lives, without patriotism and love of country, and without the love and discipline and good example of a Christian mother and father.
That’s why.
All salient points.
When these next few generations are dead and gone, it’s going to be very interesting...but I’ll never give up all hope for America. We’re still the best game going - ANYWHERE on Earth! :)
When they are surrounded by hate, of course, they’re unhappy.
Gee, what could it be - almost from kindergarten now, adults are threatening to cut off your body parts, turn them into new fake ones or oppressing you for being “straight”. And when they’re not doing that, the weather is coming to get you (”climate change”). Or they’re going to make women responsible for being mothers again! OMG! Orange Man bad! USA horrible!! Nothing but hysteria every damn day of your young, very impressionable peer-pressured life. DOH!!
Because they don’t have God and Church in their lives.
Addiction to a dangerous drug:
“The majority of births to millennials are to unmarried women. Yet, according to a 2018 Cigna study, single parents are generally the loneliest Americans.”
WOW!
maybe its because our society being manipulated by our leftist media pushes the narrative that everybody has got to be HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY all the time which is just plain nonsense... if they're not HAPPY 24/7 they think there's something wrong with them....
and no,not everybody has to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend to be happy or be rich or be super popular...
our young people think life is one big party not that its hard,and difficult...
I think we need to teach the young people that its okay to be sad sometimes or to be quiet or disappointed at other times....they don't have to be "on" all the time..and that its NORMAL ....
