  1. AS A FORMER TEACHER? STOP LYING TO THESE CHILDREN ABOUT LIFE, HISTORY AND THE WORLD! START LISTENING TO THEM..AND REALLY LISTEN PARENTS! STOP MAKING THEM TAKE TESTS THAT ADULT HUMANS CAN'T PASS. CRACK DOWN ON BULLYING. STOP RACISM IN SCHOOLS. START PUTTING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IN THERAPY. THIS ALL WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE TOOK OUT GREAT PRINCIPLES AND TEACHERS WHO CARED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FIELD. NOW? IT IS ABOUT MONEY, POLITICS AND TEST SCORES. SMH SAD..BUT I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME. HERE IT IS. I FEEL SORRY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!

  2. Sad to hear the news about this. It boils down to children learning to cope in an age where parents are focused on culture wars and not their kids.

    A lot of these kids are quoting from stuff they read online. They are not qualified to address mental health on their own.

  3. I think that all high school kids, throughout history, have probably suffered from some social and mental health issues. The fact that HS kids are starting to identify, discuss, and cope with them this early on, may make for easier futures.

  4. The cell phones and some "bad applications" are BADLING disrupting the students education/behavior 100%. Also some of the parents are responsible for this because of their "BLINDES TO SEE THIS AND CORRECT THEM TO BECOME SOMEBODY TOMORROWS FOR THEIR OWN GOOD AND THE WELL BEING OF THE COUNTRY.

  5. Great, what did you think would happen with 6 catholics on the Scotus?

    That we would progress into the future? Good grief, the me 2 movement is almost dead while roe V wade was overturned and they're even trying to prevent access to contraceptives

  6. Really pleased to see such a thorough report on this.
    Research and understanding is finally catching up to what we learned in 2011, the year we struggled to save our beautiful and previously joyful child Grace McComas. We lost her to suicide on Easter 2012 at age 15 after an univestigated drug-assisted sexual assault by an older neighbor, followed by malicious, death-wishing and hate filled cyberbullying. (She never had a smartphone, and wasn't even on Twitter but didn't need to be to hear/see what was said).
    We knew EXACTLY what was happening and took screenshot proof to schools, police and courts who failed to make it stop.
    Maryland's Grace's Law Against Cyberbullying was passed in 2013 and updated in 2017.
    MD legislation to up privacy and protections online, #MDKidsCode is being discussed now. Federal legislation, Kids Online Safety Act or KOSA, stalled on Capitol Hill last year, but mom's who have lost children to online harms will fight for it again. There's simply no time to wait.

  7. Manipulated results. Less men are educated. Men are 4 times more likely to actually commit suicide than women. Men drop out of school more than women. More schools including colleges favor women. Men average GPA is lower than female. Female have more social structure than men. Super Gender bias.

  8. It’s important that teenagers find inspiration in their lives. They need to read philosophy, self-help books, motivational books, etc. worse if they have a problem/issue already going on. Those kind of thoughts and values from those books will make them be good people, give them a purpose in life, a motivation, instead of just surviving the day to day, they’ll be able to identify the right or wrong, have a sense of fulfillment, striving for excellence, etc.
