[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suicide is a social contagion, which is why there can be clusters among young people.

Social media is definitely causing a mental health crisis among young people. I believe gaming is also a huge issue - especially among young men who become addicted to it, and they lose any desire to interact in the real world which is much more boring.

It seems to me that suicide has become more "acceptable" in recent years, and almost glamorized. That makes it more appealing to a young person in crisis, who feels worthless. They can fantasize about how they will be the center of attention and loved, even if it only happens after they've died. JMO[/quote]

I feel differently about gaming. It’s a type of free play that boys do together. [/quote]

WHAT?! Gaming might be the most toxic of all - it completely destroys a person’s natural relationship with dopamine. I believe it’s almost single-handedly responsible for the crisis of young men being unable to make it to college or even out of their parents’ basement.[/quote]
