Not only this, the leading children’s health institutes in the United States have warned that from the point of view of children’s mental health, there is a state of emergency in America right now, which the government should pay attention to.

The lifestyle of the American youth has been a great center of attraction for the youth all over the world including India. On the one hand, a rich country, on the other, a society free from many kinds of restrictions, very famous educational institutions: one can understand the attraction of the youth towards such a country and society. But there is a picture in addition to this that is important to see and understand, the main health agency of the United States, “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”, published the report of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2011-2021 based on government data. .
This report presents data from a survey of high school students in the United States. The report shows that in 2011, 28 percent of American high school students experienced prolonged periods of sadness and hopelessness, which rose to 42 percent in 2021. This situation was observed in the year 2021 to 57 percent among girls. In 2021, 29 percent of all male students were found to have “poor mental health,” meaning a worryingly low-quality mental health condition, while this condition was found in 41 percent of female students.
A 2011 survey found that 16 percent of American high school students (both boys and girls) were seriously considering a suicide attempt, rising to 22 percent in 2021. This percentage was 30 among girls. In other words, by the year 2021, about one-third of American high school girls will seriously consider suicide. In 2011, 8 percent of American high school students actually attempted suicide. In the year 2021, this percentage increased to 10.
In other words, by the year 2021, 1 in 10 American high school students will attempt suicide. This is a very shocking figure. On the other hand, if we look at the data relating to female students, it was found that this percentage was even higher at 13 percent.
These statistics show that behind the outward shine in the lives of American youth, and especially high school students, their real condition is very troubling. There is a deep sadness and depression in his life. Not only this, these trends are even more prevalent among girls. In this context, the American society should think deeply that despite the high income and consumption, there is so much pain and suffering among the young people there.
Not only that, the leading child health institutes in the United States have warned that, from the point of view of children’s mental health, there is a state of emergency or a mental health emergency in the United States right now. With such statistics and warnings in mind, surely the United States should renounce external aggression and pay more attention to reducing the internal suffering of its society.
The survey report, based entirely on US government-level data, also shows how much suffering lies behind the glitz and glamor for youth in developing countries.
