This study finds 9 percent (!?!) of teenagers attempted suicide during the first half of 2021.
55% reporting emotional abuse and 11% reporting physical abuse. https://t.co/XycTZEAaGz

Dang. Yeah, was always super-suspicious of those studies that show that teens were overjoyed to sit inside doing nothing at all for months at a time, missing most of ther lives. Especially since I have had friends and acquaintances tell me things like, “Madison hasn’t been the same since she missed most of the important events of her last two high schools years. She’s depressed and doesn’t want to leave her room.” And I don’t know many people!
“Studies show.” Yeah, studies can show anything. I care about what’s happening in the real fucking world.
