Not sure what you're looking at. There is a clear, sourced, and cited upward trend in teen suicides between 2012 and 2019.

  Yes, there is an trend upward since the mid 2000s. I was just expecting a 10x.

    So anything less than 10x means... "Trends in teen suicide don't seem to have changed that much." okay? I guess everything is fine then.

Yes, "only" a 33% increase from 2012 to 2020.

  Parents have a lot to answer for. The fact most kids dont have a relationship with their parents or guardians where they can talk to them about anything is highlighted with metadata like you have highlighted. The sophistication of manipulation and control is highly granular in todays world, even a keyboard typing pattern can give away emotion which some can exploit.

      Have a look online, but here is one plucked from a search engine ( https://www.highlights.com/about-us/press-room/national-survey-reveals-62-kids-think-parents-are-too-distracted-listen https://www.highlights.com/about-us/press-room/national-surv... ) again meta data, but there is also a Thomas Pynchon quote to think about, "If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.".
