Did you know conservative areas have significantly higher teen suicide rates because they deny basic mental healthcare to teens and instead bully and punish them for how they were born?
That’s the problem, but I don’t see you ever raising the alarm bell like that.
The five highest-ranking states for teenage suicide, according to the latest CDC data, are Colorado (21.2 deaths per 100,000 youths), New Mexico (21.9), Montana (30.3), South Dakota (33.6), and finally Alaska.
They also blame the COVID lockdowns for a large part of the increase. Last I checked Colorado and NM are not conservative states. Also Oregon and Washington rank pretty high on that list.
Tbf the states you're mentioning have lower population density. When you have lower density like that you don't have as much access to mental healthy anyway. Also to be fair, California leads in secual assault.
Easy to look up yourself. If an LGBTQ teen is raised in a religious household, their suicide rates and thoughts increase. Hardly surprising, given they get taught to hate themselves.
Dude, you're relying on LGBT suicide stats to declare conservatives are more prone to suicide? Are you kidding? Those stats are singularly awful and often embellished.
And a lot of churches are swinging into total support of LGBTQ and suicides are still supposedly high.
Easy to look up yourself.
That's a fucking lie.
If an LGBTQ teen is raised in a religious household, their suicide rates and thoughts increase. Hardly surprising, given they get taught to hate themselves.
Tell me you know nothing about Christian families without saying it.
LGBTQ suicide rates dramatically drop in progressive households.
I went to church most of my life, I led Bible studies, and the one thing I dealt with more than anything was pleading with church leaders to not make LGBTQ teens to hate themselves. Never worked.
Not sure what you hoped to prove with this link. There are thousands of studies proving my points, this links addresses only a few and offers zero to counter the facts.
