  1. I suggest you a video. A magical fibromyalgia treatment has been found with dietary supplementation and nutritional attention. You will notice that you have healed in 1 week. Watch the video for 10 minutes. Watch it again for better understanding. Video name: REAL TREATMENT FOR FIBROMYALGIA FOUND

  2. mental health illness plus we have to all be sure our kids are aware if bidens fentanyl that is flooding the country, Right, nbc?

  3. Finally, we’re starting to see the boomer mentality of shove it under the rug and “buck up” becoming things of the past

  4. Both adults and other teenagers don't have the tolerance or "good vibes only" to get it.
    I was neglect as a teen emotionally.
    I'm still here, alone.

  5. Finally. Proof that parents have failed this generation.

  6. No fathers and they’re all raised by social media, what do you expect?

  7. These days I just find mainstream/ social media stories and conversations about mental health wildly amusing… as if they aren't a big part of the problem. Mkay. All the studies have shown! Right….uh huh.

  8. The teens now are braver?? Then why is there a problem. Those that say platatudes knowing that its not true doesnt help. The young people today are not very resilient. The opposite is true but why? They are weaker mentaly then the generation before them. We need to say the truth and try to fix it.

  9. If there is a mental health crisis it was created and embellished by the government.

  10. Remove social media and pick up the Holy book. Focus

  11. I hope those kids need to stop being stressful.

  12. THE MERCENARY By Dominiquie Vandenberg now on streaming and on Amazon Prime

  13. Only Jesus
    Can turn mess
    To message trial
    Into triump
    Victims to victories
    Time for Jesus not
    Listen to media
    👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍

  14. Less than half?? What idiots did the study???? Vivek Murthy is the worst doctor in the world.

  15. Ok, start with too much propagated plastic surgery, and finish with a country that took a big poo on it’s own moral compass. Our school systems should be proud of the mentality of our young people as it stands, it’s what the adults wanted.

  16. For the Severely Mentally Insane basically have little to zero care at any age. Every single mass shooting that has occurred in America is at the hands of the severely mentally insane yet after each of these mass murders we hear about gun control INSTEAD OF HEARING ABOUT WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE CONTROL OF AMERICA’S SEVERELY MENTALLY INSANE.
