From negligible to negligible. Small numbers like that are highly susceptible to statistical variations. One nasty bus accident could bump the death rate by 3.5 per 100,000.
Taking selfies is another.
Lack of parental influence in young peoples lives is the biggest factor
Behind these terrible statistics is the usual suspect entity known as liberalism. One can trace just about everything bad, evil, or stupid to liberalism.
“24 hour news cycle, the rise of social media and smart phones, and internet porn. It all has an alienating effect I think, especially for young people who have never known anything else. Most kids that age are looking at screens more than the faces of their friends and family.”
Exactly right. There are also more realistic, first-person-shooter games and deviant, anti-social video games like Grand Theft Auto that glorify crime and allow the expression of sexual violence. There’s also God of War, Witcher, Mass Effect, and many others.
What’s worse is the expansion of the LGBTQWERTY agenda into society and the public schools. As adults, we can switch off the TV or boycott companies we disagree with, but kids can’t get away from this stuff. It is demonically oppressive and depressing.
“Thats an easy one. Just look at any of the large urban areas controlled by Democrats.. Chicago, Baltimore, etc..”
No, but its easy to stick one’s head in the sand. These cities have always had problems. IMHO white America is in a crisis.
My take as well. If you go from 1 to 2 you can scream a headline of 100% increase.
As Victor Davis Hanson put it when talking about the schools, a bad mix of ignorance and arrogance, with zero perspective or experience.
Strong drugs
That’s the only difference
Pray with me, my dear Freeper friends; cry out to the Lord for the precious unborn and a generation of youth, who the devil desires to destroy. By discussing many reasons you see for what is happening, they are demonic strongholds that cannot stand against those who have “Put on the whole armor of God.” Amen!
Because they’re bullied by the Hoggs.
As opposed to sticking one's head up ones posterior.
Educate yourself. Black and Hispanic death rates are going down and white death rates are rising. But you ignorantly blame the trend on inner cities. SAD!
“Liberalism”
Well said.
I would add to that ... that the bullying has increased BECAUSE of social media. You can say any hateful thing you want about someone and EVERYONE sees it. You can even set up a fake account and do it anonymously.
As insecure as the teenage years are anyway, add in this abuse - with no redress or punishment for the bullies - and it must be torture.
And the feminization of parenting. Even in my family, I am criticized whenever my parenting takes a form that might actually stick in the adolescent mind. Wife and sisters and even mother still recall “feeling” uncomfortable whenever their father raised his voice. Funny, I recall it by thinking “yeah, he was right.”
I would love to, got a link? I wasnt able to find any data.
No real trends there for any race in particular. Maybe one for black teens over the last 5 years.
