TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Among 10-14 year-olds?

At that age, your biggest problem should be losing a video game save file, or at worst losing your first pet. All while still surrounded by loving and supportive adults.

What the hell are we doing?

Meh it wasnt that many years ago kids would have been mining coal for 4 or 5 years by 14, yet for some reason they still werent killing themselves. Maybe this is worrisome
I suspect we might not have very good records of child suicide from when children were mining coal, or even very good records of how many died just mining coal
Yeah but they also weren’t on insta/snap/whatever. Terrible reception in the mines.
