, 91% of Gen Z between ages 18-21 in the last month have experienced at least one physical or emotional symptom due to stress. Additionally, suicide rates are at 22.7%. Both of these statistics are the highest rates ever recorded for each
So your source is a wikipedia article, whose source is “rockmediaonline.org”, which itself doesn’t provide any source, but only implies they get their information from the APA.
The closest I can find is from here https://annals-general-psychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12991-017-0143-5 which says in a Brazilian city 22.7% of youth experience suicidal thoughts. That’s not the same as suicide. And there is no way of telling if this is the study that rock media gets their source from either.
So I think this statistic is a dead end and Wikipedia should remove it from their page.
Some good research there.
Remove it and add this to the talk page as the reason why

22.7 per 100,000 is far FAR more likely.

All I could find in 5 minutes was this
According to the American Psychological Association, 91% of Gen Z between ages 18-21 in the last month have experienced at least one physical or emotional symptom due to stress. Additionally, suicide rates are at 22.7%.
Yup, doesn’t make it any clearer

at some point all their money isn’t going to make a difference. we are going to have had enough and their killer robots won’t be ready yet
we are going to have had enough and their killer robots won’t be ready yet
As a technologist I’d have to agree with this premise. If the most innovative thinkers of the robotics, AI, and materials science had been captured by DARPA/the elites, then we would already have T-1000 style terminators. Thankfully the smartest of our species is smart enough to realize “the only way to win is not to play the game”.
yah capitalism just sucks. it’s not capable of advancing an advanced civilization because it’s prioritization of short term profits over all else. despite what the shills and bootlickers say. edit: also china. China has the power to prevent neofeudalism now
Who could’ve guess that stuffing people into permanent poverty had negative mental health effects? Truely a shock.
Wait what does that mean? 22.7% are killing the selves? That’s obviously not true so what does it mean lol
So many factors to consider in regards to suicidal thoughts and actions. I don’t advocate for spreading misinformation, but even if inaccurate this information is valuable as thought provoking.
