Statistics show that preteen and teen suicide rates are unprecedented. Much of this is due to shaming and bullying on the interwebs because it’s so much easier than face to face.

I have no proof that kids kept constantly busy are unhappier than gamers, or druggies or run of the mill kids but see how people might jump to that conclusion possibly through projection.

Do I think it will get worse? The internet is proven to be polarizing with record number of folks calling themselves lonely no matter how many internet “friends” or followers they have. Yes it will get worse for our youth as long as their lives are spent behind screens. Perhaps keeping them busy in sports is more the answer than the problem because they develop team work, face to face relationships and parents who care enough to haul them around.
