While there's a passing mention of opioids, the article very clearly states: gun violence, access to guns, school shootings are all factors in this godawful and rapid increase in America's horrific rate of teens choosing suicide.
We are losing a generation because those repubs in Congress don't give a shit about anything but power and money.
Unfortunately, I think it's a lot more complicated. Several years ago there was a lot of news about young people running on a rampage in Paris and burning cars and causing destruction. These were 2nd generation kids from immigrants (mainly from some French colonies in N. Africa). They felt trapped between worlds. They grew up in France and had French friends and were ostracized by their family. They couldn't find work or intermingle in many societies because they weren't French. They were extremely frustrated and disparaged. I am the godfather to a Syrian/Turkish families grandson and actually saw this between 2 worlds happen. There are many reasons for suicide and the environmental destruction and the whittling away of a future is a big concern for these kids. I place the blame equally on the shoulders of misdirected liberals as with the misguided conservatives.
