CDC says teen girls are caught in an extreme wave of sadness and violence

The full report from the CDC is more interesting than the NBC summary, although obviously you'll still have to read between the lines.

I cannot undetstand why parents allow kids on social media.

If one looks at objective data such as grades, graduation rates and test scores about how boys and girls were doing in the 1970s, one sees they were similar, so feminists designed a survey eliciting emotional responses that they were able to twist to claim there was an educational crisis impacting girls. When the biased 1:4 college women are raped “statistic” came out, actual reporting data put the number at about 6 per 1,000 being sexually assaulted. I could easily design a survey asking about being hit, shoved, pushed, etc and report that nearly all men are victims of battery but don’t report it. Perceptions from self reported survey information and more objective reporting of defined actions can yield incredibly different results.

I think this may be much the same. There’s hard data about boys vs girls being assaulted. There’s hard data about male vs female suicide rates. Schools have to log reports of bullying. Yet this report mostly glosses over such hard data in favor of self reported perceptions and I know there are studies showing males and females have different perceptions regarding threats and risk. For example:

Mom: “learning to ride a bike is dangerous, my child will likely fall and skin their knee.”

Father: “learning to ride a bike is fairly safe. The worst that’s likely to happen is the kid falling and skinning their knee which is no big deal. “

A boy and girl may experience the same negativity online and one may call it bullying and one may not label it so. That’s a matter of perception, more than a measure of incidence. This report isn’t coming up with an objective definition of bullying and trying to objectively measure the incident rate at which that occurs. There are studies where researchers actually go online and try to measure bullying according to certain criteria, but again, this report fails to address that kind of study. Perceptions or thoughts often don’t reflect action. This report mentions girls think about suicide more, but having a thought about something doesn’t mean much. The fact is males commit suicide more, which is a much more meaningful statistic than a thought.

This report is primarily self reported information about perceptions and there may be some value in that information, but that’s not the same as objectively measuring the rates of a defined action.

I think this is a growing issue. We are seeing more and more articles presenting issues based on self reported survey information and fewer based on objective reporting of incidents.

Well, they're not wrong. I mean, they are in laying the blame at the feet of the "rape crisis" that Biden and his boys Gulf-of-Tonkined into existence, instead of the complex web of factors making life genuinely miserable for young people (and non-young people, for that matter) these days, but I have no difficulty believing that teen girls are pretty damned unhappy.

How does advocating for women’s issues somehow invalidate men’s issues? I’m aware I’ll be downvoted for this but just because people are saying women are struggling doesn’t mean they are implying that men aren’t

Women are more likely to have depression, while men are more likely to have autism IIRC.
