When I was in high school, we had a shooting team. Boys would bring their rifles to school, check them at the office, and then get them before the event. School was closed the first day of buck season because so many boys hunted — and had guns at home. No one ever thought of a school shooting incident.
I knew maybe only one or two classmates whose parents were divorced. It was unheard of that a boy grew up without a father in the house. When you met a new person, “where do you go to church?” was maybe one of the first dozen questions you asked.
We didn’t have social media where a “friend” was some disembodied entity on a computer screen or phone. We didn’t have video games where the object was to shoot everything you see without consequence.

These drugs come with a Black Box Suicide warning. Just as OA drugs come with GI/HEART, and Hypertension come with GI/Vision. Having been the victim of the latter 2, I have the RUINED GI tract, and hopefully temporary vision issues to go with it. But my GI tract will never function normally again. I just hope my vision does.
Lyrica, Neurotin, need ADDICTION labels, Cymbalta has a Black Box Suicide warning, needs to add addiction. ALL PHYCH drugs have them.
