The report was talking about teenage girls. While the overall populate suicide rate may be improving/stable, the article claims teenage girls are in crisis. CDC report on overall population. [1] Provisional data from CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics indicate that both the number and the rate of suicides in the United States increased 4 percent from 2020 to 2021, after two consecutive years of decline in 2019 and 2020. The rate of suicides per 100,000 increased from 13.5 in 2020 to 14.0 in 2021, which is still lower than the modern peak of 14.2 in 2018. CDC report on teenage girls. [2] indicated that young females had both higher and increasing rates of ED visits for suicide attempts compared with males (8). However, the findings from this study suggest more severe distress among young females than has been identified in previous reports during the pandemic [1] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2022/20220930.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2022/...

Worth noting that the report isn't just on teenage girls however that part is what particularly stands out from the report.

There is absolutely no mystery here, and it's got nothing to do with social media: [1] Of note: 18% of teen girls said they had experienced some form of sexual violence in the past year, compared to only 5% of teen boys. The rate of teen girls who have experienced sexual violence has increased by 20% since 2017, when the CDC first started tracking the measure, per ABC News. "The percentage of male students who experienced sexual violence by anyone did not change," the report stated. Nearly 15% of teen girls said they had ever been forced to have sex, a 27% jump from 2019 and the first increase since the CDC began tracking the metric, per the Washington Post. 4% of teen boys said they had ever been forced to have sex, with no increase reported.
