Idk if this will load right but just Google adolescent self harm rates or something similar.
I don't think hating on them and their culture is the right way to fix this
No it's definitely not. I was just making the point that we shouldn't just assume that new trends are fine by default, just because past generations have had panics about new trends that turned out to be harmless.
Couldn't possibly be due to the rising threat of climate change, fascism and economic precarity. It couldn't be a society that has utterly failed its children and abandoned them to the harsh future it created. It must be those dang tiktoks. Better ban them.

Did you look at the graphs though. Something happened right around 2012-2014 and it was definitely social media. I mean yeah its not the only problem but it's definitely one of them.
The kids are not having fun.
