According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for Americans aged 10-24. In 2021, 9% of high school students attempted suicide.

Nor is this just a matter of young people forever struggling more with emotions than their elders do. Teens decades ago didn’t struggle like this: The number of Americans aged 10-24 dying by suicide has increased by over 50% since 2000. Emergency room visits by young women who committed self-harm have doubled since 2001.
