In recent years it’s felt like there are always more stories about mental health in males. Job market, etc. Not sure how you’re missing them?

- jeffbee 4y agoI can't find major newspaper articles specifically focused on suicide among teenage boys, even though the rate of it is 400% higher than for teenage girls, and getting worse faster.
- prawn 4y agoHas it always been ~400% higher? That aspect might get lost if the rate is notably high for all youths? Here's one about male problems I remember reading and could quickly find because the title was memorable: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/08/andrew-yang-boys-are-not-all-right/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/08/andrew-ya... And another with the same title: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/opinion/boys-violence-shootings-guns.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/opinion/boys-violence-sho...
- jeffbee 4y agoYes, males have done about 80% of the teen suicides since basically always. I can remember a handful of articles about boys struggling over the years but like your Yang example they have been on the opinion page and tainted with the whiff of "men's rights" grievances.
