What I am asking about source is the collected place where you got this, or did you individually search this yourself?
I see the article credits but that is just limited and I like to read the contexts!
I've lived it - ALL of it.
Born a trusting LDS girl. Got used and abused by it's members.
Suicide seemed like a good option.
BEWARE.
I'd like to see the sources also. The dates are quite old. The one that made me laugh was the coed pregnancy rate at BYU. Um, many of the coeds are MARRIED, the percentage is much higher than at other universities. Some of the information is questionable, like the information from the Vernal Express (?). The Deseret News did a series on the high suicide rate amongst Utah teenage boys several years ago.
Rest, you have to remember that colorcountry has an agenda. Statistics can be twisted and used to prove anything. The high bankruptcy rate can be attributed to some many Utahns starting their own businesses and not having enough money to carry them through the first five years. A 400% increase might be 10 people taking a drug one year and 40 people taking it the next year. There is NO context provided.
The other thing is that we are all human. The gospel of Jesus Christ is here to help us through this life and our mistakes. Repentance for our sins and forgiveness comes through Jesus Christ.
