There was much fear about a rise in suicide among children during any sort of lockdown, but actual evidence suggests that suicide rates fell rather than rising.[0] One might infer that school itself drives suicide among children, or one might say only that correlation should not be confused with causation, and we don't know why the suicide rate fell during the pandemic. What one should never do, of course, is to claim that suicides are up dramatically when they aren't. Anecdotally, although my 11-year-old daughter has been back at school since September of last year, she loves wearing masks at school and in public generally. She plays volleyball while wearing a mask. Not all children are struggling or feel tortured or hindered. 0. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8110323/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8110323/
