  1. I’ve been seeing this in males for awhile now but in girls now ??

  2. The CDC and lockdown leaders did that.

  3. Get them off their phones and out in the real world with real people involved in activities they are passionate about.

  4. We live in a confusing toxic culture right now. Things are only going to get worse.

  5. CDC are murderers. They put that bio weapon in people that harmed or murdered them and no one arrested or hanged yet? Then we'll do it on our own free time.

  6. , a new study just out says the mask did nothing to stop the spread of the virus. Florida governor was right

  7. I’m sure the lockdowns the CDC recommended had nothing to do with it. 🙄

  8. Why is everyone being careless about this situation?? Do any of you people realize that these girls are going to grow up and give birth to their kids someday?? What if they give up at a young age?? FOR CHRIST SAKE WOMAN GIVE BIRTH TO YOU ALL AND SOME OF YOU STILL BE MEAN AND DISRESPECTFUL

  9. Breaking news: teenage girls are cry babies over everything and seeking attention for likes 👍

  10. 😂😂😂😂 girls of that age have always whined about feeling hopeless and sad

  11. Everyone at CDC should be fired for such poor statistics. CDC is failing.

  12. Being a teenager is normal, when you're over 25 and your brain is fully developed you'll be much better off.

  13. ITS IS DUE TO WHAT THE SATANIC MONARCH CULT MEMBERS DID TO ALL OUR LITTLE BOYS AND GIRLS AS A COUNTRY & AS A ENTIRE PLANET EARTH. THEY VIEWED ALL LITTLE GIRLS AND BOYS AS SATANIC ILLUMINATI HOLLYWOOD PROSTITUTES TO PLAY THE GAME FOR MONEY, JOBS & CAREERS. END OF STORY! 👎🏻

  14. The girl's should hope for a husband they can cook and clean for. That'll make them happy.

  15. This is what the democrat woke disease causes!!!!

  16. Can the cdc even define what a girl is

  17. Among the top reasons–
    1) Forced school closures
    2) Forced business closures, especially small businesses
    3) Forced injections of unproven mRNA jabs
    4) Constant doom and gloom from the media
    5) Mask mandates

  18. When a female doesn’t know she has a vagina and is a woman she will have mental illness

  19. Comparing yourself to others and having a moment or moments of sadness and hopelessness is part of growing up IMO. As an adult, you grow up and look back and realize how petty the things you fretted over as a teen were and that makes you a better human as an adult. With that said, young males are 4x as likely to commit suicide than females and many times more likely to commit a violent crime associated with mental health. They're more subject to social isolation as well. I'm not sure why anyone is focused on gender-specific mental health, when everyone equally needs love and attention.

  20. Because they are being conditioned and groomed to see our important womanly roll as being "weak", to see not needing a man as being "strong".. To see yourself as a victim, when in fact western women are the luckiest humans alive thanks to your men.

    My mother honored my father for all his hard work, and dedicated her life to 3 daughters, my dad and our home. She was an amazing woman that earned the royal treatment and adoration from my father. She taught us to earn everything and how to be good useful partners and mothers. Young women now live in an echo chamber that conditions them to be self entitled bad partners/wives, and even worse mothers, because you think you deserve everything, just because the things my mother worked hard for, just because you exist. You are conditioning to be toxic and abusive towards your own men , and justifying it by pretending to be victims, when it is your men and children who are the real victims

    You are unhappy because you can not find fulfillment by NOT fulfilling the role God has made for us women. The happiest, most mentally healthy and most fulfilled women are those of us fulfilling our God given natural role, with pride and dignity. That is true strength!

    This news is more propaganda to farther indoctrinate young women.

    I'm a Pharmaceutical Science (PhD) that originally started studies in psychology.

  21. Well hail, if they get up off their lazy butts they might get some oxygen in their blood cells. They need to get off the internet cause their brains are mushy. 📢 TRY BEING PRODUCTIVE

  22. Why is this surprising, with all the anti-female rhetoric and violence?

  23. Have they checked in on the boys mental health or are they going to keep attention on women?

  24. How sad… meanwhile men have 4 times the suicide rate of women, compose 75% of the homeless population, suffer very high addiction rates, and are most likely to die violently….. but…. 10yr old girls are feeling … sad…

  25. Anybody seen mean girls? Enough said.

  26. So just girls not students in general sounds like the world doesn't care about young men's mental health in school ,was just really blatant couldn't help but notice

  27. while their parents can barely afford to make ends meet with biden ……the situation sounds temporary

  28. social and the close knit of friends are more important than the boys. emotions are stronger with the girls, and openness to mental health or use of mental healths are more common, its good at least we know, still have it rough these days with opinionated, bias, shaming, bullying, still common.

  29. I think the best thing we can do for these girls is to find them a partner or social group, because they have that natural want for attention. That way they will know that someone does care for them, that they are not alone. It'll be a win win for everyone too
