Suicide rates for young girls are rising at a pace faster than that of boys, changing the established patterns that boys are more likely to die by suicide and that girls are more likely to consider it and attempt it, according to a new study.
Researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in in Columbus, Ohio analyzed suicide rates of US kids and teens ages 10 to 19 between 1975 and 2016 using the Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database, run by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In that period, there were more than 85,000 suicides in kids and teens, with 80% in boys and 20% in girls.
"It's very normal for your child to start getting a little more moody and defiant," she said of the teenage years."But if you start seeing drastic changes, their academic performance is declining, they're not spending as much time with family or isolating themselves, those are big red flags."If those behaviors are present, Robles-Ramamurthy recommends asking teens clearly whether they feel depressed or have considered hurting themselves or ending their lives.
It is a most irritated & bitter trend in the specific age group. Apart from government, society has a great role to play 🎭 though can't be uprooted, but at least to minimize.
I think terrible public education is the problem; Some it what they teach simply isn’t true. No one at my private school ever committed suicide as far as I know... Is that the case for any public school in the US anymore?

Thanks to social media
If you are a parent and you love your kids, you’d never want to let them join any social media.
CNN is full of shit survey finds!
If Instagram and snapchat ever go away, the suicide rate in women will double and triple.
Help fight depression.
Stop filling them up with toxins that changes their mental state and teach everyone about proper nutrition and how that is how you keep your body, mind and soul healthy
What you think that’s from twitter . facebook
Mabe parents should start paying attention to what there kids be watching and doing ..to much shit online, social media ,Facebook has.crap about suicide all over the place ..watch your kids parents..
sad world today.parents fail,schools fail,etc.
Throw hands
CNN This report is so late to the party.... This epidemic is now 3-4 years old. IF you researched it at all you would see there is an increase in many areas... Dads, Moms, Oldsters...
Why would a 10 years old commit suicide WTF is wrong? Are you watching what your kids are doing online? Are you talking to them daily when they are back from school?
Damn
Maybe we shouldn’t have shows that glorify suicide as a revenge for bullying and abuse.....
Social media?
What are we doing to our children?
Because all the boys are becoming girls .
At home we agreed she hands the phone to my wife or I and she gets it back the next day to go to school. She and us feel the peace at home now. Just a suggestion that may help.
That’s just too heartbreaking 😢
Life is incredibly hard for young people is many respects. I was bullied as a kid, but afterschool and weekends offered a break from it. Now it's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stuff spreads so fast online that half the bullies aren't even people they know anymore.
Hell they can't decide what of the 99 genders they are
And social media is partly to blame.
This is so sad. Social media has to have a direct effect
We don't know what's going on with them if we don't talk to them. So sad.
It will go even higher now that abortions are illegal. Men will be men. Why don't the government make Viagra illegal. When God is ready for a Penis to go limp and impotent, deal with it. There may be less pregnancies. Men always found a way to hold women back.
I lost my son 2 years ago, aged 10. I believe it was an impulsive mistake he lost control of but there were underlying issues at school. My son didn't have social media. This is a huge problem that can't be ignored anymore. This world is a cruel place.
Kids are mean to each other and with social media it's even easlier to bully.
Just Wait Till These Girls Are Told By The Radical Republican Terrorist’s Sharia Law,Pregnancy Results In Forced Birth Or Life In Prison At The Age Of 14.....Yeah......
capitalism, elitism
They must receive the best coaching PLEASE!
Because they are being lied to their entire lives. Told they must be equal to men, instead of allowing them to be women.
Keep your kids off social media...or at least monitor it heavily.
Bullies and media are mostly responsible for this. Media impose their warped view of skiny is the best body. Bullies at school torture children in other ways. Its about time we took down the bullies and brought on sticct rules to completely eradicate skinny modles anywhere.
Every human beings must stand against bullying! This BS needs to be stopped
Before Facebook I only heard a very rare suicide maybe once every 5 years. After that, everyday. Well done Mark Zuckerberg.
What young males can't kill them quick enough?
talk to your kids and know whats going on in their lives....
Don’t bother blaming parents and social media. There is a growing culture of cruelty against women and girls. It’s worldwide and ubiquitous, and children as young as 4 years old take notice. Yes - FOUR. We just get exposed to it more now in the Information Age.
It's called bad parenting. If you are transparent and open, talk to your children and let them know that they can come to you for ANY REASON, it'll be okay. How many of these kids worship online social media apps It's not that difficult....
Social media. Online bullying.
People need to toughen up. And not be told they’re oppressed victims all the time
I'm sure it will increase for all under 20 age groups if Republicans get their way with Roe v. Wade.
SOCIALMEDIA
Ages 10 to 14!?! WTF!!
many kids, and that's what they are, kids, just maybe shouldn't get a phone until they are older or totally stay off social media. its toxic and if not managed it gets us these results.
I've seen a number of 'suicide rates of _____ rising' in the last few years.... I wonder why?.... 😐☹️
There'll be more soon
I’m willing to bet anything it’s not that girls are “more vulnerable” to negative impacts of social media. It’s that boys harass, abuse, and troll them at high rates online in addition to in person bullying. These adults clearly have no idea what boys do with the internet.
We have a foot in eternity were time stills and a foot in the profane world were things change. We must know that things eternally change for the best and have this notion go around. Things are getting better on the planet but we are taking a step backward for now.
See what happens when you shutdown Claires...
With Trump it will continue
It’s like we should invest in (mental health )counseling or something.
Social media.. the downfall of society.
Social media?
And Alabama said hold my beer, we can be 1 in this study.
How devastating
The bullying years.
This is just awful.
Pathetic.
My 11 year old granddaughter come home one day told me her friend was depressed and wanted to commit sucide. I was shocked and asked if her friend was ok? She said yes, but I haven't followed up. Thanks for the shout out. It takes a village to raise a child. Shame on me!
The girl who killed herself because of an online poll had to be one of the crazier stories.
So young girls, pity! Their parents should pay more notice on them.
Maybe that’s partly because the media glorifies it
Thanks, social media!
FBI didnt want to listen...
Heartbreaking 💔news
It's always rising. Will always rise until we all do something to make the world a better place. But we dont....so we carry on.
Makes my heart hurt! Why? What can be done to stop this epidemic of self loathing, depression, sadness, mental struggles? I wish I had the answers. I would suggest if girls get involved in sports, activities, clubs, anything to make them feel strong, connected and worthy!♥️

Internet has destroyed a generation on purpose
Sad statistic
Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that being female in the US now includes having a target on your back from the politicians? Who wants to grow up in that environment? Add in hormonal changes that happen in adolescence and it's a good bet for increased suicides.
You fail to understand the - why is this happening? question It goes beyond brain activity. Society (movies, songs, tv shows, internet, secularism) is driving young kids to hell. Many people have fought to get the world we have today, which apparently is having dark consequences
Well played GretaThunberg
Get off Instagram
Youtube is replacing parenting in the 21st Century
Why & how do they even know, at that age, taking their own life is even a thing?!
Not for telling anyone how to live their lives except for matters of health so delete social media and this problem gets solved on an unprecedented scale tbh
MBSchwietz
Ask the question, what's changed over these years?
Stay with us, girls. The world needs as much femaleness as it can get.
Sad and disgusting. Is there a specific reason? Mental help should be more easy & accessible. This is not ok.
Thank you social media.
