"No offense, but I don't think we'll ever understand the youth. I'm 35, and I don't understand it; but I know many of my younger cousins are glued to their personal devices and social media. There's no disconnect, even in tragedy."

That's very true. They grew up with it.

Unfortunately the social media route may be healthier than some of the more “traditional” remedies such as alcohol. When I lost my best friend from suicide back in 2007, I drank myself into a 3 day stupor before finally going to an AA meeting to get myself straight.
