Discussion "Teens, especially girls, are experiencing more violence, suicidal thoughts and mental health challenges, CDC survey finds"

[immrw]

I stumbled across this article yesterday. It's such a shame that things are only getting worse and still no one wants to talk about suicide. At what point will these issues be addressed? Misogyny is so commonplace now, especially with Andrew Tate becoming an icon for some men and Roe V Wade being overturned. Society is telling women over and over again that we don't matter--no wonder young girls are wanting to kill themselves.

with all these social media stupid trends and bullyng (even cyber) it is very normal for very young people to be tired of this existence too. Sad but people do not care and they will not do anything about it either

I cannot wrap my head around the logic. "Yeah, neither men nor women feel like they have any worth or a way to talk about their issues, let's just make it taboo and hope it fixes itself."

People idolising the "American Psycho" personality type is high key going too far. Men adopt it because they feel too insignificant and start forcing themselves to try to be a sociopath for no reason, but to be "Chadded" or "Based" online or to seem cool for no reason.

The idea of having a flaw means that you are weak and a failure as a person is the dumbest thing ever since so many suicide could have been avoided if people just the option to talk about their feelings without being judged or seen as weak.

It is why places like this as while it is focused around finally getting to rest, just getting to explain and talk about why you feel like dying can save a life. Social media just phucked stuff up a lot by making everyone think that they have to be super human with the hustle or they are pathetic excuses as a person.

You know it has gone too far when people start actually trying to be like a meme. Some may have forgotten, but the sigma and alpha chad stuff started as a joke that people then decided to live by for whatever reason.

To be honest I highly doubt the statistics on the article, to a certain extent the concept of men being raised not to cry and show feelings is still being enforced, so how true is that? Because the rate of male suicide is higher, so isn't this a societal issue? Not a 'girl's are being affected by social media and body image' issue again is it?

I'm sorry. I looked up to Andrew Tate as a low confidence male. I didn't know my actions had such an impact. I'm very very sorry.

statistically women/girls attempt more but men/boys die more often from theirs due to them opting for more lethal methods
