Depression
Ashley Welch "How depressed is your state? " is an article that explains what percentage of your state is depressed. New England territory seems to be a high in the percentage as well as some Midwest states and Utah seems to be very high. The article explains one likely cause is due to teenage not getting enough sleep because of late night with their phones. This number is increasing which should be alarming to our government. From 2013 to 2016 in this article say it has jumped to 33percent.
suicide is a major issue that isn't being covered much by our news outlet. It's very disappointing that many people on their phone don't know very much about suicide here in the U.S. There are about 123 people who end there lives every day in the United States and about 44,965 per year. 51% of people who end their lives are by firearm. In 2016 14,925 were killed by homicide and 22,938 by suicide in terms of death more people die from suicide than from someone shooting them.
The reason why someone depressed maybe due to our technology growing or maybe sociality standards. There is a mystery when asking the question why people kill themselves and even today researchers aren't sure what the causes of this big change in percentage between 2013 to 2016. What I do know is our nation isn't doing enough to stop this. Our media rarely cover suicide I believe we should look into it more and find treatment for this. It's more important now due to the fact the in the future that the number of suicide is just going to increase.
