Youth suicide rates rose 62% from 2007 to 2021: 'People feel hopeless,' one recent grad says

Young people dying by suicide has been an alarmingly frequent headline in recent years.

Katie Meyer, a goalkeeper on the Stanford University women's soccer team, died by suicide in 2022. She was 22. Ian Alexander Jr., son of actor and director Regina King, killed himself last year. He was 26.
 
In 2021, an eighth grade boy named Ellis Lariviere took his own after being told he couldn't return to the elite private school in Brooklyn, New York, he was currently attending. He was 13.

Last year, suicide rates in the U.S. were the highest they had been since 1941, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

During the last two decades, youth suicide has increased significantly. From 2007 through 2021, suicide rates for Americans ages 10 to 24 rose 62%, according to the CDC.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

This country as a whole is mentally ill… these suicides are only a symptom of that mental illness.

Malaise, perhaps?

A deeply indebted country to the tune of 150% of GDP has few if any options for long term prosperity.  That directly translates to economic opportunites for our young.

Our government the past 40 years are criminally complicit for putting us in this hole.

I don't blame them.

Slim prospects for marriage or children, cost of living skyrocketing, homogenized job market that only recognizes a limited skill set and rewards networking over talent, etc. Not a lot of room for optimism.

And when we do say we want to end it, it's treated like it's all in our heads, like it's OUR mindset that's f'ed up and not the world. No. I need help. I need a woman who will treat me like I'm worth being loved. Not to be told to be happy as a dead end on the family tree. (For example.) I cannot make up for society's deficits by mindsetting away my needs. Some things I cannot do on my own.
