Everyone's mental health has been affected. Let's be honest.
How everyone's going! How's y'all's family. Are you eating okay? Anything on your mind you want to talk about? No matter who you are you deserve a chat even if it's for the moment. There's good people out there 🙂

Sticking them with needles every 4 months doesn't help either
As a teacher I would say social media/phones has had a greater impact on teenagers mental health.
Capitalism takes a toll on everyone's mental health.
It's taken it's toll on everyone's mental health.
This is why there should be no mandates
False. Mental health issues affect guys more (3x suicide rate)
The lies that these psychopaths have told during the past two years have taken a toll on everybody's mental health, and it needs to stop.
MaIe teens suicide at rates 3 times higher than female teens
Aren’t we over that yet? Children survived the Holocaust, the Great Depression and the Vietnamese Nam war.
People were calling attention to this over the last 2 years. Sad that the media and scientific community are only now validating this lived experience.
Middle school too🤨
It should make you feel pretty bad ABC but you don't

At 50, having horrible, socially disruptive and at times crippling bipolar disorder for 40 of the 50yrs…AND being able to get through life without crying about it, just goes to show the generational difference. I’m from a generation where no one was given participation awards, pats on the back and clapping hands for things that all kids should do anyway (cleaning rooms, doing homework, wiping your butt) or living a life through “likes†on social media and our parents actually said “No†or “You can do better if you try†or “it’s ok you didn’t win, just work harder next timeâ€ÂÂ. People have seriously lost the plot. Everyone just HAS TO BE a special snowflake.
And the 20yr old kid on here who said she’s autistic (fun fact, most people with anxiety disorders, mood disorders are generally on the Autism/Asperger’s spectrum, though not enough to be considered actually Autistic) and they made her eat lunch in the basement…please stop lying. You know it’s not true, we all know it’s not true.
For those of us who are actually mentally ill, all of you/your whining little kids are just going through the adolescent experience. ALL adolescents go through anxiety and mood swings. It’s called hormones and discovering yourself as an individual. When people, parents and the media pander to this idea that there is no distinction between mental health and mental illness, all these teens start thinking they’re in some special club (that being the club of First World Problems) and it negates and takes away from those of us who actually struggle day to day.
Please stop.
You mean, Lack of social interaction,democrats trying to force a vax into people and teachers acting like children were super spreader didnt help ?? Sounds like what the Republicans said when they opened the schools and democrats cried about it.
I thought we weren't allowed to admit there is a female branch of the human genome.
ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
👅
the amount of seething boomers in the comment section concerns me
Man I wish the people who grew up during Spanish Flu/WWI/the Great Depression/WWII were still around to laugh at this. I’m not discounting people’s feelings (actually, yes I am) but guys. It’s been worse.
…and guess whose fault this is? THE MEDIA, TEACHERS, and FAUCI.
Gee thanks for catching up to the rest of us who knew 2 years ago…
people wake up it is not the covid pandemic,,,, it is the government with their unlawful lock downs and mandates. the young people are smart, they can see all that is happening to their country and they feel powerless to do anything about it. parents you need to talk to your kids, it may surprise you what they are concerned about.
this is has always been a government takeover all of our freedoms.
i think my mental health is or might be compromised can u do a story on me
It's taken it's toll on everyone's mental health.
You are F A K E news! Male teens suicide rate is 3-4 times higher than girls
We should be careful on money useage if we are not spending to earn back then stop spending.
Should The level of DECEIT involved be traumatizing to everyone?ðŸ¤â€Â
It's information overload
Social media, video games and metaverse wont do any favors for them either.
People were calling attention to this over the last 2 years. Sad that the media and scientific community are only now validating this lived experience.
2 weeks to slow the spread.
School choice mandates will fox everything
All those opiates are causing them to lose brain cells.
"This requires money!" Your not wrong love!
Forcing teens to mask up really didn't help.
How could they dislike having a fan club?
People are fish or not
It's tiktok…it glorifies mental health issues. Like the newest cool thing that doesn't cost a dime.
Ya, it's not the virus that has messed with their heads, it's the lockdown and government overreaction
society so soft its amazing I would say social media has a greater impact on mental health but you profit off that as lobbyist 2 much to do anything word is Zuckerberg paid 200 million to the Biden campaign
doesn't everything take a toll on teens?
