This is the opposite of what we want to see. How Awful and tragic.
Truly sucks to hear, even wilder having a general understanding why this is the case. I'd be curious to see how other age groups compare to teenagers over this time period. Also wondering how lockdown impacted the numbers.
- I imagine isolation during the lockdowns has been extra hard for teenagers, and just seeing the world fall apart around you probably doesn't help things.
  
  Ya, pretty much my gut reaction as well. Hopefully we're both off thinking that though...
