Social media is one factor on a long list that may be contributing to a mental health crisis among teens. While rates of anxiety and depression in this age group continue to rise, New York Times reporter Matt Richtel has spent more than a year interviewing American adolescents and their families. Richtel talked to Michel Martin about his series, “The Inner Pandemic,” and the latest installment just out this week which focuses on the impact of the crisis on teens of color.

Yes, a crisis playing out right before our eyes, in a word, DEATH. And not just media stories or everyday violence that kids are exposed to in let me count the ways – but you leave out ecological collapse and the catastrophic crisis with biodiversity? Do you think kids are idiots? And can’t see what adults are producing for their future, with everyday that goes by?? MASSIVE destruction!! With world wide planetary and catastrophic impacts!! Hello, we are about to cross not one, not two, not three, not four, but 5 freaking tipping points!! With unknown effects – other than its all really, really bad. And here’s an interesting fact you don’t mention about suicidal kids: it’s unprecedented!! Kids are traditionally the most resilient suicide demographic, but are now leading all the statistics, how come? “Hmm, I wonder, could it be the kids are a symptom of a wider problem that locates with the adults? Or that the real crisis is happening with the adults rather than with these stressed out kids? And that, maybe, the kids are the equivalent of the proverbial canary in the freaking TOXIC mine? Again, worth repeating because it’s an important academic talking point not mentioned: “Gee, I wonder, what could be happening with the kid’s social environment that is, somehow, impacting the traditional power and resiliency of childhood and adolescence, that, for the first time in human history, is driving them to despair and to kill themselves in ever greater increasing numbers??? To the point they now lead the freaking category when, historically, they always placed last!!” Hmmm, could it be, that maybe the real problem here or crisis is happening with us, the parents and grandparents? And that the kids are the equivalent of the SYMPTOM of the real problem, which is a distressingly inhuman culture?? That Produces far more preoccupation with death and observable destructive outcomes, than life events? Kids menstruating earlier, by the way, is a clear indicator that they are stressed out of their minds, worth mentioning, don’t you think? Kids that grow up in abusive homes tend to menstruate earlier, established science, folks!! That’s another indicator that points to what the freaking adults are doing or not doing – DUH!! Just horrible journalism, including from the Amanpour lady that has obviously not done her homework before the interview with this researcher who is, either a complete moron or in complete denial, or worse, a freaking placebo. Another betrayal of these kids by reckless and irresponsible adults doing important work, and arriving at all the wrong conclusions. What else is new.

This makes perfect sense, unfortunately.
Thanks for this informative & important program. I hope we go even further into historical data & what we can institutionally change to help our future kids.
PUHleeeez…I was born in 1959. JFK, RFK, MLK, SLA, KKK, PLO. Munich 1972. Vietnam. Duck and Cover. 1968. Black panthers, pink panthers. Oil embargo. Inflation 18%. Interest rates 21%. Iranian Hostage Crisis. Henry Lee Lucas, John Wayne Gacey. The Weathermen. Silent spring. DDT, STP, LSD. Woodstock. Altamont. Moon landing. Manson. All before I was 20.
Capitalism is the problem.
Thank you for this coverage. We live in a much more difficult world than I did as a kid, and it makes perfect sense that it’s having an impact on teens today, in a way we’ve never seen before. Every adult should watch this.
Too much technology, social media, and gender ideology have confused things for teenagers.
It’s interesting that “traditional” social ills like teen pregnancy and drunk driving has declined since the start of social media. One would celebrate these “victories” but when compared to the other problems that have arisen because of social media, one could be forgiven for wishing that they would come back….
Climate change. That’s the reason. Was barely mentioned here.
A psychotherapist spends 45-60 minutes a week with an adolescent. Someone who prescribes is usually overwhelmed by treating too many patients and spends 15-20 minutes/month or less with their patients. There’no mechanism via health insurance to pay therapists to communicate w/ prescribers. Good therapists get a signed release from parents to do so anyway.
No mention of the fact that most “food” in the us is so toxic its not legal in many countries.
Woe to America’s teens. Note that school gets in the way of sleep and somewhat in the way of activity and connection. A lot of tech does too as does overbuilding. It would be better to be outside with little school in a more open landscape and with connections.
Making money is action. keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge
Expert Michelle is legit and I still trade with her, since I am going to retire in my early 40s. having an expert broker like Mrs Michelle managing my investments is heartwarming, Because I don’t have to worry about a thing, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend 😊
I think I am blessed because I couldn’t have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Michelle , I’ve made a lot of profits in the past few days.
@Solomon Jones THANKS A LOT I HAVE CONTACTED HER NOW AND SHE RESPONDED
Wow 😲 you guys just mentioned Mrs Michelle Wayne , thought I’m the only one trading with her… 😀
People will be kicking themselves in regret in years to come, if they miss the opportunity to invest now.
Not just climate change!Racial inequality, mass incarceration, widening wage gap. They feel hopeless. This guy really missed the mark
