In the United States, closing schools was strongly associated with REDUCED suicide attempts in teens "The most likely scenario is that suicidality is simply too complex a phenomenon to neatly align with any one particular policy or explanation"https://twitter.com/jeremyfaust/status/1419777382131527693 …

Obviously, it is impossible to know if this is in any way causal, but it is a strong counter to the narrative that school closures have caused teen suicides to skyrocket

"Complex thing turns out to be very complicated" always seems to surprise people. On a more serious note, I can believe that it is. I can also believe that for others the lack of that socialization or environment can be.

Not at all far fetched. School can be toxic and cruel for many

School was stressful enough all by itself for me without the risk American kids have of sudden death by AK47 or some such. Makes sense to me.

Yes and a lot of suicide risk seems to be about opportunity, which you're not going to have if you're home with family all day.

Preliminary data in
#Ecuador point in the same direction. Studies on school bullying show it is pervasive and insidious in the country. A small study (to be read in a Springer book soon) we conducted shows children and parents are more afraid of school violence than home violenceThanks.

Yep, roughly 1/4 of students at my school (out of 1700 kids) prefer remote learning and not being physically *present* at school as being there is a huge stressor for them
