Is there not a simple answer? At least a partial one?

A few days ago, this link highlighted suicide ratess among the young; in our US of A; this excerpt:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released a new report on youth suicide, and the results are shocking. In just an eight-year period from 2007 to 2015, the suicide rate for teen girls between the ages of 15 and 19 have doubled, and authorities aren’t really sure why that is.

The new rate of 5.1 suicides per 100,000 people represents a 40-year high. In 1975, the rate was 2.9, and it increased to 3.7 in 1990 before dropping to 2.4 in 2007. But for some reason, the numbers have suddenly risen. And boys that age haven’t fared well either, seeing their suicide rate jump by more than 30 percent, from 10.8 to 14.2 per 10,000 individuals.

[...] “Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have lasting harmful effects on individuals, families, and communities,’ the CDC states. “While its causes are complex and determined by multiple factors, the goal of suicide prevention is simple: Reduce factors that increase risk (i.e. risk factors) and increase factors that promote resilience (i.e. protective factors).

With that site lacking any link to an online original source, the value of the remainder of the item beyond the excerpt is nearly useless.

However, it was notice, and websearch found other reporting. Readers are urged to attempt to find the referenced report online; while reporting links include HuffPo, CNN, and PressTV.

It is easier to explain than the media outlets mention. Put yourself into the position of a young person looking forward to fifty years of the crap the people who run the NWO and this nation's part of it; including the politicians they own in DC; that entire DC cesspool of consultants, generals, bought politicians, co-opted regulators, and hustlers of other stripes; and look at the greed collectively put under the loose rubric "Wall Street," and how the Occupy movement got put down smacking hard universally across the nation; then as a youth foreseeing fifty more years of that shit might you not then head for the railroad tracks?

In short, we owe the young of this nation a better future. The policy positions advocated by Bernie Sanders resonate among the young of the nation for an easy to understand good reason. Justice is better to anticipate than same old same old screwing with Paul Ryan the poster child of that status quo dark scenario.

Bleak perspectives lead to bleak conduct, and if any bull-shitter is really "PRO-LIFE" these are real and actual lives in being, and focus there before laddering out that embryo brand of crap. If sincere, and "PRO-LIFE" what the hell is holding you back?

I mean you, Abigale Whelan. I cannot understand you but I know we in the district can do better. You nailed down that legislative paycheck, Jesus must love that cashflow, but how about earning it?

UPDATE: Tune time. Encore?

FURTHER: Resilience.
