Oddbean new post about login | logout there is absolutely no way the numbers of teen suicides as a whole, ans in the gay community have dropped since social media became a thing. Zero chance. gonna need some sources on that.
It’s very hard to separate out cause and effect. At the same time that social media adoption grew we also saw increased family acceptance and legalization of queer relationships. Are the rates of suicide going down because of social media, or because queer kids aren’t facing violence from peers, or because they’re not being disowned by their family and made homeless? Or is it social media changing society to reduce those harms by increasing acceptance? What we do know is that suicide rates are dropping amongst queer youth. The change in acceptance and legalization of queer people’s existence has happened much faster than anybody in the queer community expected. A big shift has been the way social media stopped the censorship of almost all queer voices and stories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_among_LGBT_youth
So none, got it. i assumed not. There is in fact a significant increase in all teen suicides since roughly 2004.(year depends on stats and study used) Certainly gay teen suicide is also up. I'm not going to blame the rise of social media, but.....seems like a good culprit. You certainly can't make the case that social media has helped their suicide rate.
Queer suicide rates are down since 2004… that’s the link I shared with you of the wikipedia page documenting the drop. If you don’t want to look at data, then there isn’t much point of arguing over stats.
Because it's bullshit. There literally zero chance that they somehow defied the overall teen suicide massively increasing trend. Zero. It isn't possible to accurately measure whether a teen who committed suicide's sexual preference. especially a 13 or 14 yesr old. So it means nothing. You can measure age, gender, possibly race accurately. You can't measure who someone was attracted to post mortem, lol.
ironically this study shows that 'youth' suicides in the community increased as a % of all suicides, at the same time that suicide rates increased. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35963758/ but sure...go on
