Gen z have the highest suicide rate in history, could it be linked to the single mothers, fatherless households and the nanny welfare state?

[PatriceONeal]

[Oigit]

Statistics in general provide a number. But they don't give you anything beside that. So it put's us in a situation where we can make a list of possible contributing factors and still not have anywhere near a complete list. Also you have to keep in mind getting a complete explanation as to why someone committed suicide isn't 100% guaranteed. So we wind up with family and friends of a person that took their like who are still unable to provide a concrete answer when asked why a person closed to them chose to end their life. Even after years of research on their end they are left speculating and trying to find an concrete answer themselves.

And cellphone apps usage.
Constant dopamine levels from constant instant gratification from getting likes on a post or getting a higher score in "candy crush" leads to basically a drug addiction... and once they can no longer get their high... everything else seems to compound and becomes overwhelming.
That's not the complete answer but it's definitely a contributor.
Electronic free time... like prayer or meditation is essential for good mental health.

[PatriceONeal]

This one guy @OddBeMe seems to think it's guns lol. These kids are thoroughly brainwashed

[Andres77]

I guess guns are like toys in the movie Toy Story. They move around and scheme when no one is looking.
Sneaky gits!

[Dargil]

I think it is linked to Democrat/Mass Media propaganda. Many of them believe the world is about to end due to climate change.

[PatriceONeal]

True, only good democrat is a dead one.

[Dargil]

I don't wish them dead, just permanently out of power. When Other People's money finally gives out, they will all be serfs.

[PatriceONeal]

I didn't wish them death, just recognizing how much more dangerous they are while they're alive.

[josephinelcajon]

Absolutely but don't forget violent video games, latchkey kids, over medicated, fast foods,

[PatriceONeal]

Overmedicated I can def see. The others we dealt with as millenials. The laychkey kids might be more prevalent with the rise of inflation and single parent households.

[josephinelcajon]

I am a bit older and saw the BIG difference when the mothers went to work! We also saw childhood obesity go way up with the introduction of fast food (fast food to me is everything other than home cooked meals)

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. A very comfortable life especially from birth as Gen Z experiences in particularly in the West leads to major depression and creates a illusion in their minds that life is hopeless.

Struggles and overcoming gives your life a lot of meaning.

A super easy life since birth leads to depression.

[PatriceONeal]

You didn't explain what makes life so unbearable. Just being born?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

An abundance of food, clothes, and general comforts of living doesn't present challenges.

It makes life mundane and like it isn't worth living. It brings about a empty feeling especially if you rested your hope to bring you happiness.

You won't see suicide rates high in 3rd world nations because their minds is always on constant survival mode.

[PatriceONeal]

Yeah I get you. Men need to feel needed and have responsibilities and challenges. Lack of fathers like you stated is a problem. However women are currently incentives by the government welfare to kick fathers out of the households so they can collect that check. Single parent households have sky rocketed since the beginning of the welfare nanny state. Men and boys are feeling the consequences more than women are because women are privileged to have their mother and men don't get to have their father- since most single households are defaulted to be with the mom since courts favor women 90% in custody battles.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't believe in blaming the women or the government, fathers etc. It's all silly excuses.

Life has challenges including depression and other health concerns as I have had. It's about getting up and fighting day in and day out.

Sitting and crying and pointing the finger at someone else isn't the answer.

[PatriceONeal]

It's not blaming, it's understanding. And you having personal problems doesn't make you unique, it makes you normal. Everyone has issues, you're justa sad sack gen z who's never been in team sports and spent your social life on a screen and zoom class. Calling it finger pointing and crying is bullshit.

[PatriceONeal]

It's not survival mode in 3rd world countries. It's exposure. They don't have instgram to compare their lives to the best living people ever like kids here do. Once 3rd world countries become westernized they become nihilist just like you are. You're spoiled and lack guidance.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. I understand reality. I understand what is to be grateful, love God, put God first and be content.

Crying over lives of people on Instagram or social media as a excuse isn't going to cut with me.

Having the right perspective changes everything.

[PatriceONeal]

Bro what are you even saying?

[CloudMassacre]

It could also have to do with climate collapse and hopelessness

[jshm2]

No.

It's linked to the shitty US healthcare system not being able to able them successfully.

[PatriceONeal]

Nah bro healthcare is fine. Don't start with that socialism bs

[OddBeMe]

Or…
1) easy access to guns
2) their boomer parents told them full time work will pay your debts. Nope!
3) did I mention guns?
4) suicide rates are up 30% for all communities.

[PatriceONeal]

Guns are great though

[OddBeMe]

Then stop bitching about suicides

[PatriceONeal]

Bitching about suicides? Wtf are you talking about. Guns have no responsibility in higher suicides rates you fucktard.

[OddBeMe]

Actually they do cucktard. Stop masturbating over semi autos and check the stats of other industrialized nations.

[PatriceONeal]

Again. Guns don't increase suicide rates. You are 100% wrong and like every other libtard loser on here Lmao

[OddBeMe]

So a suicidal man without a gun, and one with a gun. Who’s more likely to die in the next 5 seconds?

[PatriceONeal]

You're the dumbest person alive. If the guy doesn't have a gun he has a knife, a car, a bridge, a tall building, pills? please gfys retard.

[OddBeMe]

You haven’t remotely studied this. With a knife, bridge or pills they hav time to change their mind. Guns…boom it’s over.

[PatriceONeal]

When do you change your mind when you jump off a bridge? Grow wings and fly away?

[OddBeMe]

Going to the bridge. Stepping on the ledge. Seriously, you should read the stories of near suicides.

[PatriceONeal]

But that doesn't mean shit. Your argument is terrible and you're clearly just an anti gun fucknut

[OddBeMe]

At least you’re not emotional about this issue.

[PatriceONeal]

You opened by saying I'm "bitching about suicides". So you're passive aggresive and a hyporicite too.

[OddBeMe]

You know I'm right and you're getting defensive about guns. Can't get over the fact that guns kill fast and easy. Nothing else does.

[PatriceONeal]

Except for suicide bombs, nukes, any vehicle, a brash anti gun ideology like you have. All worse than guns.

[PatriceONeal]

You could always leave America and never come back. You will never ever take our guns away you communist bastard child.

[humanearth]

They said the same thing about my generation to.

I call fake lies,

[PatriceONeal]

Why would you say that? You don't know it to be true and yet you say it allowed as if it were? I'm sorry is suicide not worthy of you doing some research?

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

Welfare state people do not know how to overcome adversity cannot deal with failure were never taught how to work thing out because everything was handed to them on a platter.

[Lord_Saddler]

Yes, and you're next when you find out how worthless your life is.

[PatriceONeal]

Projecting a lot here Lord Farquad

[EnglishEuropean]

No, because those factors predate Gen-Z. It's linked to poverty, hopelessness and unaddressed mental and physical health issues

[PatriceONeal]

You think the US is the place with poverty, unaddressed mental and physical issues? 🤔

[Anonymous]

It’s linked to pathetic men like you. I’d rather die than put up with your bs.

[PatriceONeal]

It's called reality*

[Imkass]

Suicide has many factors besides this

[PatriceONeal]

Are you going to name them or just swoop in, deflect from a probable cause then skuttle away into a hole somewhere?

[wilford1934]

Single mothers do a great job!! It’s a problem of too many bad fathers.

[PatriceONeal]

How can a woman effectively raise a boy into a man? Especially since she isn't a man.
