    The suicide rate for white children and teens between 10 and 17 was up 70% between 2006 and 2016, latest CDC data show. Although black children and teens kill themselves less often than white youth do, the rate of increase was higher — 77%. https://usat.ly/2u5LUVY pic.twitter.com/XCpK9qRm3K

        That’s so sad to hear. As someone who has struggled with suicidal ideation on many occasions, it is the worst feeling in the world. Sounds like more school counselors are needed that are open inviting to our youth. 😢

        And more needs to be done about bullying, social media bullying needs to be stopped as well, its sickening! Schools do very little when kids are being bullied!

        Social media bullying is its own monster. School bullying is a little easier to patrol. When I was in school not once did I receive an open invitation from a counselor or have an assembly to inform us what a counselor actually is or does. I truly hope schools are doing this.

        They have help but do little to the ones who is doing the bullying, sickening how many I knew of took their own lives from being bullied or from those being vindictive and starting horrific rumors, or falsely accused of sexual assault from revengeful girls. Truly sad!

        Yeah it’s so sad! I’m sorry you have lost ones close to you. Have to keep reinforcing to those who are struggling that they can talk to someone. Keeping those feelings bottled up is what leads to them overflowing and taking over ones thoughts. Mental health is a tricky demon.

        Wonder how this would compare to rise in prevalence of social media usage in same demographic

        You can ask suicide researchers, or if that's too liberal, ask the Israeli military, and they'll tell you that the easiest and most direct way to lower suicide rates is to remove guns. But since America won't so that, it's just more meaningless dead kids.

        What did teens hate about the Obama years? This makes no sense. Fake news?

        No it's not. Ask the Israeli military. Ask suicide researchers. Or just defend guns no matter how many kids they kill.

        Lol. Of course that's a nonsense. Guess what other countries have bullies. All if them. Guess what other industrialized nations have endless school shootings, mass shootings, etc. None. There's only one difference: access to guns.
