what pregnancy & violence has to do with mental disease? sure some correlation but it's not the staple in many cases... depression & suicide among kids/teens ARE increasing over time. now if that's ONLY because social media is another mild take, too https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1414751/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1414751/

I was responding to the second paragraph in the original article, in which the author gives opinions on the success of other initiatives based around moral panics. If you wanna know what’s going on with kids and mental illness and suicide, ask almost any social worker and they will straight up tell you how kids don’t have any hope and often have extremely minimal support. My generation is depressed and anxious for completely reasonable reasons. It’s a rational response.
