All the “In” kids are killing themselves.
Tell kids there’s no God, no truth or meaning. Add money.
They’re running into Solomon’s wall, Ecclesiastes 1:2.
They need the living God.
Because their parents are insufferable?
Bush's Fault!
Is there an active faith practiced in these families?
I am willing to bet this has something to do with the gay/transgender BS they are putting out now.
The pressures to succeed in Silicon Valley is something else.
Not everyone can handle it.
Ecclesiastes is right. They’ve made an idol out of success and themselves and have nothing, and the children are suffering.
Add to that the Deathcult their parents believe in and who wouldn’t commit suicide?
Pray America is waking

Legend has it that Alexander the Great wept because he had no worlds left to conquer. The gloom and hostility of today’s generations arise from that same despair. All the transcendent glories have been denied them by the insistence on Humanism, and they’ve found that earthly glories are ephemera. So what is there to strive for? Another yacht? A bigger mcmansion? A faster BMW? It’s anomie writ large across the generational landscape.
Meaningless, empty lives.
Having just gone through the “college application process” with one of mine, it’s for sure the schools aren’t helping.
They shouldn’t teach kids to hate their skin color or their parent’s wealth. It’s liberal ideology that’s killing these kids.
Henry Gunn has a heavily asian student body and their academic ranking is up there. Paly less so but is also a highly ranked school.
I love your response. I’ve been familiar with this work for ten years. Dr. John Patrick has a slightly modified version of it available if you google it.
Only took three posts - thank you!
Seriously, if you are told there is no God, and there is no purpose, and that entropy is the natural order of things (chaos) - you are going to ask at one point, “Why am I doing all of this?”
Also, Palo Alto is a fish tank. What a lot of those folks need to do is move out to the sticks - visit a farm and live and work there for a while, and find out what a meaningful living looks like.
In Palo Alto, success is an app that helps break up marriages (Tinder). It’s an idea and program you steal from your partners (Facebook). It’s a plan for surveilling the entire planet, and replacing human beings with robots (Google). People in that town aren’t curing cancer.
Precious little in that town is going to improve anyone’s lot. Oh, and kids are luggage there. As soon as a kid realizes this, they start asking whether it might make everyone’s life a little easier if they just die.
We’ve had two suicides here in the last three weeks (Western WA). Religion is one of those vacuums in life that refuse to be ignored. If God doesn’t end up in that part of your life, work, booze, drugs, sex, or fill in the blank will go there - and stay there.
MTV... wife was watching some dumb show last night (don’t know the name) full of feminist BS and emasculated boys and there were 3 kids on there that either tried to commit suicide or threatened suicide in the single episode and they were glorified. You glorify it and you’ll see more of it.
