[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You two a just dismissing it. Girls struggle in high school. Lots to do with age and hormones and everything else. Add in a pandemic and social media and there are girls you both know who are struggling. They've always been there. They are just being taken seriously now-- or not. [/quote]

It's always been there but it's more talked about.  [b]The pandemic is long over[/b] so you need a new talking point.[/quote]

The pandemic is NOT "long over". It only moved from "pandemic" to "endemic" in the last few months.  And it was unlike anyone in the current generations have ever gone through and we are still going through waves of even SEEING and FEELING the impacts of it on ourselves and our children as a whole.  Maybe not you, maybe not your family, but in both the physical health fields and mental health fields practictioners are busier than they've ever been and the needs keep growing AND evolving.  The pandemic didn't cause all of them, but they caused some and greatly exacerbated others.

Don't tell people they need a new talking point - what happened and worsened during and since the pandemic is way too real and CURRENT for anyone to act like it's old news.

The rest of your point is true, the struggles and suicidal thoughts have always been there, but not talked about nearly as much.  But also the rates ARE increasing.  They weren't this high or this level of common before, even factoring in for cultural stigma to even discussing it, where that stigma is far less now (but still there).[/quote]
