I agree with much of what you said, I posted that while angry and so it came across unsympathetic. Mental health (I'm a recovering alcoholic, 7+ years sober after 27 years of hell before I took responsibility) is key to a majority of these kids. We also have to acknowledge the fact that many of these kids haven't developed any social skills, in my day, you had to talk to people, you made friends, you learnt social norms by trial and error, there was no screen to hide behind under an alias. No one told them the internet isn't social interaction. Unfortunately, society doesn't seem equipped to deal with this phenomena. I appreciate you calling me out on that.
