CDC: more teenage girls have been contemplating suicide than in previous years.

Social contagion is a thing. Mental illness is being glamorized by mentally ill "influencers". Who want to monetize their conditions.

Suicide for teens went up after 2013
Hmmmmm guess when social media apps took off
iG 2013

Damn!
I just said a few days it seems like mfkas are bragging about mentally ill or wanting to be depressed

I blame social media
Have a daughter
She's not touching that until adulthood, hopefully
Self esteem needs to be enforced
Know oneself
Love oneself

You can keep it from them but anything they want to see they’ll see it anyway those 9 hours they’re at school. TIKTOK, IG, Snapchat, all of it. That’s what makes parenting so tough now.

Social media is clearly to blame.

How are you going to keep your daughter off of social media?

Like, what strategies are you going to employ?

Education is paramount

Again, building up her self esteem

Helping her figure out who she is

But i obviously can't restrict social media usage 100%

Mafukkas will blame everything but the parenting!

Did it jump or are more people reporting things as sexual violence that weren’t considered the same before?

 

[IIVI]

Two pages been calling it out: social media and clout-chasing.

Internet calling it out.

Don't know how people still don't understand that

It's social media. People are opting to self diagnose and self medicate rather than seek professional help. As to sexual violence, social media amplifies that as well through cyberbullying and harrassment of victims.

Yeah but that’s because of the lack of healthcare in general though, if it was easier and more affordable to get mental health then certain trends and issues wouldn’t be happening.

Social media got these kids mental health in a chokehold

Sadly, this is da case for many adults as well.

 

[Shadow King]

Social Media is partially a reason but not the sole issue, this country NEEDS a makeover but people are too busy trying to uphold a status quo that is ancient and fading.

What do you think the status quo is?

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

America will likely be Japan status in 40 years

More like 5 years

 

[3rdWorld]

It’s the social media duh

Remember when that bombshell dropped that Facebook basically had done research proving that social media was harmful to the psyches of it’s users but didn’t tell anybody about the results ?

The demographic most affected was young women.

Managing the Effects of Social Media on Teen Girls

Frequent social media use has been found to disproportionately impact teen girls’ mental health more negatively than teen boys. Mental health outcomes include cyberbullying, lack of sleep and negative self-image.

Instagram was late last year accused of fukking up the minds of young women..
