Where does all this teen suicide come from? It seems that there are things that teens anguish from that we adults are not fully understanding. If we did, maybe there are things that could be done to prevent this scourge. I do not even remember any rash of teen suicide back when I was that age. What has changed?

Broken home, bullied online did not have many friends and always got himself in trouble. Was arrested twice at school. His father just got his rights back to spend time with him last week. They were up here on Monday I talked with him he seemed happy. Wednesday he was dead. So sad.

Definitely plays a big part in it for sure. Now bullying does not just happen at school now it's constant 24/7 through social media. 

I also think parents put a lot of pressure on kids now a days with sports/activities 7 days a week. There's no time to just be a kid anymore. 

The covid lockdown BS has played a role in certain age groups as well. They where thrust into an insane time line and many have come out with severe anxiety because of it. If the parents handled it poorly you can bet the kids are a mess. Imagine being young and being told that you cant see grandma or grandpa because you might get them sick and they might die. I know adults that where telling there children this. Insane.
