Teen girls are facing an increased risk of suicide − and stress related to LGBTQ identity might be contributing to it. Really!

Of course, all this public fanfare about the cultism/tribalism of LGBTQ confuses teenagers!

For teenagers, LGBTQ must appear as one of the greatest things there is and they need to join! It is another mania!

The two professors and authors of this article also try to mislead the public. They claim the acronym LGBQ stands for  lesbian, gay, bisexual or questioning. Q=queer. They omit the T in LGBTQ (T=transgender).

Why was the Youth Risk Behavior Survey not conducted in 2023 or not analyzed by these authors?

Between 2015 and 2021, the percentage of high school girls identifying as LGBQ jumped from 15% to 34%. During this same period, all females who reported they thought about suicide increased from 23% to 29%. Creating a plan to commit suicide rose from 19% to 23%.

"... we conducted research showing that the increase in suicidal thoughts and behaviors corresponds with a dramatic rise in the number of female high school students who identify as LGBQ – lesbian, gay, bisexual or questioning. ...

We analyzed national data from over 44,000 U.S. high school students who took the Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021. We did this to understand these parallel national trends of rising suicide risk and rising LGBQ identification among teens.

Between 2015 and 2021, the percentage of high school girls identifying as LGBQ jumped from 15% to 34%. During this same period, all females who reported they thought about suicide increased from 23% to 29%. Creating a plan to commit suicide rose from 19% to 23%. ...

Why more students may be identifying as LGBQ

The increase in LGBQ identification among more female students in the past decade likely indicates greater access to information and social acceptance. It may also reflect the greater visibility of LGBQ people, including in popular media and leadership roles, which may help young people better understand and label their own identity. ..."

Caveat: I did not read the whole article.
