The CDC is worried about the WAY teens are killing themselves? What - not government approved enough?
“Sigh. I remember the good-old days. When all they did was take a bottle of sleeping pills and go to sleep.”
Hmmm. Said in jest - but I wonder if they do chose a more “in your face” method as a means to get back at those they feel have harmed them, slighted by, etc. Nothing would say “I hate you and it’s your fault” better than finding your child hanging from the entry-way chandelier.
So sad. And like your photo reminds us, it is now a government approved means of getting out of difficult situations.
But auto-erotic sex and vampirism have nothing to do with it, BTW.
Expect more as the country descends into “physician-assisted suicide”. Teens seek to emulate their elders in matters of sex, smoking and drink, and it’s reasonable to expect them to pick up the culture of death.
