It is unfortunate that the 30% wasn’t leftist politicians. (And successful in their attempts.) </sarc>
The article is not surprising however. Lefties promote death as a solution to someone’s problems.
Just look at the MAID (medical assistance in dying) law in Canaduh. Prime Mistake True-dolt and his band of socialist misanthropes are expanding the law to include 12 year olds, I believe, and the mentally ill. Several months ago, a ‘counselor’ at Veterans Affairs Canaduh, the government department that is supposed to assist CAF veterans, was ‘counselling’ distraught veterans to seek MAID, rather than help with their mental issues!
I am sure the lefties in the USSA are not far behind those of Canaduh, unfortunately.

I learned that with my first girl friend. I was having problems with her, and her best friend told me to stand up to her and tell her what to do. I had a tough time comprehending that.
Later in life I had a bully boss, very mean, very hateful. I stood up to him, talked back, stood my ground and from then on we got along better than he did with many others.

Young people experience the power of the state, the power of woke politics, the power of social media, the power of education bureaucracy and the power of our corrupt society - is all condensed and focused on children in the public schools.
And this also occurs while protection of family structures and local civil society and community is at an ebb.
I am not surprised many kids are depressed. They are out there like lambs among wolves.

Young girls are exposed to violent porn and near porn on their phones and extreme social media pressure to act that out to be cool. It scares them to death and grosses them out,thinking this is what they must be and do and what life will be like when they get older. This is a big factor in depression as well as the transgender issue ( at least for girls)..

Sad, horribly sad. They’re so young, with so much to live for once they become adults. No matter how bad things are, it can possibly be overcome as adults. Young people need to be told to tough it out, and make things better. Very few reasons to ponder suicide when young.

Based upon a review of 40 studies that involved a total of roughly 185,000 adults with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA -- People Living With HIV/AIDS), "suicide risk is 100 times higher among such patients," and with "person attempting suicide for every two who think about it. And among every 13 who do attempt it, one ends up losing their life." (https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-07-06/people-with-hiv-have-much-higher-risk-for-suicide)
In 2017 almost 35% of high school students who identified as transgender reported attempting suicide in the last 12 months (versus 9.% of straights), and almost 44% considered attempting it. Transgender students were much more likely to have ever had engaged in sexual relations than were cisgender (straight) females (43.1% versus 33.2%), and with more persons, while almost 15% reported their first act was before age 13 years vs. 1.5% for straights.
Almost 23% of transgender students reported they had experienced sexual dating violence, with approx. 26% reporting it has being physical. In addition, 70% reported lifetime alcohol, use, Ecstasy 31.6% cocaine 27.2%, heroin 26.1%, methamphetamines 24.9%, and prescription opioid misuse 35.9% respectively. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6803a3.htm?s_cid=mm6803a3_w&_ga=2.187304552.190159804.1675607478-738421497.1675607478
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/images/visual-abstracts/mm6803a3_Transgender-VA-1200-x-675-medium.jpg?_=87253
Furthermore LGBTQ and transgender persons medically serious attempts at suicide are 4 times more likely among LGBTQ youth than other young people. (https://save.org/about-suicide/suicide-facts/)
LGBQ young people are more than twice as likely to feel suicidal, and over four times as likely to attempt suicide, compared to heterosexual youth (Kann 2016)
In a 2016-2017 survey from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, 28 percent of LGBTQ youth — including 40 percent of transgender youth — said they felt depressed most or all of the time during the previous 30 days, compared to only 12 percent of non-LGBTQ youth (HRC Foundation 2017: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/LGBTQ_MentalHealth_OnePager.pdf)
A large study also found that of 10,270 transgender patients identified, approximately 58% of transgender patients had at least one DSM-5 diagnosis compared with 13.6% of cisgender patients, indicating transgenders had about 4.5 times higher rate of psychiatric illness than straight persons. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6830528/)
The suicide attempt rate among transgender persons ranges from 32% to 50% across the countries. Fifty percent of transgender persons in Australia have attempted suicide at least once in their lives.[12] In England, 48% of the transgender young people had attempted suicide at least once in their lives.[13] The prevalence of suicide remains high among transgender persons irrespective of disclosing their transgender status to others and undergoing sex reassignment surgery.[8] (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5178031)
"41% of trans adults said they had attempted suicide, in one study. The same study found that 61% of trans people who were victims of physical assault had attempted suicide." (https://save.org/about-suicide/suicide-facts/)
(Note that compassion toward such is to be shown, while the high suicide rate among LGBTQ persons is blamed on societal rejection, yet in the West it is actually those who oppose homosexual relations that face the most widespread persecution, and minorities such as evangelical Christians face great persecution worldwide without being suicidal.) In addition are CDC stats that also include many STDs, which mainly are a result of heterosexual fornication.
Much more, by the grace of God.
