Im saying its defo a problem mental or whatever but its defo not a generational thing. Think some of the older folk just like to look back and think they were made of harder stuff. Regardless of who you are or what you do for a job etc (unless your a rapist or kill innocent people etc)I think it's a shame people top themself well lets be honest some folk today dont know if they are male ,female of=r a fkn lawnmower no fkn wonder the y top themselvs 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We exert so much pressure on human beings from the time they step into infant school to the day they die. For kids it’s tests so the school can make good OFSTED results, then they are made to feel like like their life is over if they don’t get 6 A* gcse, then they MUST go to uni, then they must have the car, the 35 year mortgage, the credit card etc etc......the list is endless. Its f***ing relentless for most people from cradle to grave in a life where escape from it all seems like a fantasy........there’s no “hope” 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this will change somethings, probably not, there is no doubt the look at me bullshit of reality TV, social media etc..is causing far more young people to feel depressed even suicidal...I guess with this girl killing herself it polarised the whole thing even more... I dont get the massive outpouring of hatred towards a girl who in the grand scheme of things has done little wrong, a row with her fella being about the size of it... lads I respect on here from posts and meeting them are getting right into her.... not for me, shes hardly Jimmy Saville is she.. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yet suicides are still a good bit lower than they were in 70s 80s and 90s and were on a decline until recently. We just here aboutbit more now through all different types of media. Is that a fact or are you just presuming ?....id be genuinely interested to see what the stats are on suicides pre social media compared to since. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must admit thats a surprise i thought there would be more now than ever but maybe like someone said more get reported these days ....i wonder if the 15 - 20 age group has changed them being the most easily influenced by social media. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the point we realise life’s a bit shit we ain’t changed the world and old age is going to be a bit of a struggle rather than the easy cruise to the end we thought it would be when we were in our 20s 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,136 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I would say the majority of 80s below suicides were due to a lack of empathy / resources from the health services . Also closet homosexuality would have been a factor as there just wasn’t the acceptance then . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose we can all presume the reasons back then m the same as we presume social media,reality TV etc is the source of the problems now.... Perhaps it's more simple than that...some people get to such a dark place they can see no other way out, whether that is a mental defect or through sheer desperation...who really knows?? Too many people blame outside sources on the wrongs in society or their general life style, I'm a firm believer in you're the master of your own destiny, but I'm lucky to have a strong enough character to be able to deal with what life throws at you without looking for an excuse to pin on anything outside of my control.... government, people, social media, TV etc etc...its there in the background and you just get on with it... I reckon we're all pretty much similar in our outlooks, but these social media yaps perhaps make you look at the bigger picture more regularly... I like the diverse thoughts and opinions this place offers, it certainly gets me thinking... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
