You cannot fundamentally change the function of society, nor can you expect considerable consequences.
For most of 2020, the changes have been drastic.
There is no doubt that many adults prefer to stay at home.
But children are not suitable for isolated idling. The social part of their daily life is an important part of development.
Suddenly, due to a medical abnormality, the element was taken away.
Effect, as a new reveal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, May be fatal.
Especially for young girls.
At the beginning of the lockdown, suicide attempts by 12-17 year-olds began to rise.
And there is still enough time to grow further: On March 16, I wrote an article “Trump issued “15 days to slow down the spread”, but the fighting may continue for months. “
Boy, finally got into a fight.
Collateral damage includes the emotional health of children and adolescents.
each CDCCompared with the same period in 2019, during February and March this year, the number of emergency room visits due to suspected suicide attempts increased sharply.
For teenage boys, the incident increased by 3.7%.
But the frequency of girls jumped 50.6%.
Therefore, as the study stated:
The results of the survey…show that the suffering of young women is more serious than previously identified during the pandemic, thus strengthening the need for more attention and prevention of this group.
This Miami herald why?
The researchers said that the gender differences are consistent with past studies, which have shown that girls are more likely to self-report suicide attempts than teenagers and usually go to the emergency room for such attempts at a higher rate.
…
The CDC stated that the pandemic has introduced unique stressors that may put many young people at higher risk of suicide attempts, including physical distance from friends and family, distance learning, mental health treatment barriers, increased drug use, and Health anxiety and financial status of loved ones.
I suggest another reason for the rate: network.
Today, young people spend most of their time on the cruel Internet.
In modernity, there is nothing more forgiving and friendly than social media sites.
Nothing is more threatening to young people’s self-esteem and self-image.
The pandemic not only deprived people of interaction; it must have replaced it with online activities.
Regarding suicide in general, it has long been considered the result of the US COVID suppression.
For example, see my January 24 cover area An epidemic of self-harm in Clark County, Nevada.

As observed Herald, It’s not just that suicide attempts have increased:
According to the report, compared with the previous year, the number of emergency room visits due to mental health problems and suspected child abuse will also increase in 2020, which may be one of the reasons for the surge in suicide attempts by teenage girls this winter.
More from CDC:
In 2020, the proportion of mental health-related emergency visits for adolescents aged 12-17 will increase by 31% compared with 2019.
What a terrible moment-to a certain extent for everyone, especially for children who have lost the core of their childhood due to virus control, Statistically, they have largely exceeded.
I want us to come out of those darkest days, scarred but smarter.
The time lost by the children cannot be returned, but I hope they will not lose it again.
Not only that, there may be no more life Lost in a virus or lock-in.
