Americans seem to bring guns to church to shoot church goers. They bring guns to cinemas to shoot patrons. They leave guns in their car's back seat so their infant can accidentally shoot them through the back of their own head.
I think the example of gun violence has a solution found outside the topic of teen depression.
Gun ownership and the romanticism around the 'right to bear arms' in the US is a whole deluded issue in itself.
- ianai 9y agoI addressed depression in the later paragraph. Kids are facing a pinch. If they do the socially expected thing and be “dumb” they face dismal employment opportunities. If they buck the trend they face harassment and still bad employment opportunities. Faced with no way out people feel depressed. And I’m just singling out a couple stress points there.
- brokensegue 9y agokids in my experience don't think about dismal employment opportunities. maybe late high schoolers but even though.
