Why was the suicide rate for young people so low in the 2000s?

for a short time of 1994-2008, people thought that society wasn't out to rob them and turn them into cattle wages slaves.

it was a paradise for above average iq people where technology gatekept poor retards

Do you think social media was a factor?

Why was the suicide rate for young people so low in the 2000s?

Cause if FUCKING ROCKED!

People weren't on their phones all the time,
Video games were just played by nerds so they stayed home and turned gay.
Everyone hung out at drag strips and squares, or burger joints
Many bars still let in 18 year olds
Most girls under 40 were 115 pounds then.

you had to be there :'(

they had a war to focus on and to give purpose to their lives the post 9/11 patriotism really gave lots of young people meaning to their lives. Also it was a pretty fun time in general, money was good, jobs were easy to find, chicks werent ruined by dating apps and smartphones werent a thing only like the old motorola phones.

Your HR department is run by women. By angry women. JUST. LIKE. ME.

Lol she honestly thinks she's telling a secret we didn't already know

Yessir

Illusion caused by bullshit y-axis.

Best time to be young. Plenty of spaces to escape to. Studying was actually rewarding, it was made more difficult but it guaranteed a decent paying job in the end. With this job alone you could afford a nice house.

Then after 08 it all started going to shit honestly. Younger people have been handed the bill of rampant money printing for 2 decades. Also all the niggers and third world assholes they've let in to keep the pyramid scheme going (with almost the entire economy as collateral!).

Because it really wasn't. A student in that time here in Netherlands could live in rooms, work a 2 maybe 3 month summertime job and graduate with under 5k in debt around that time. Now if you would live that lifestyle enioy the 50-60k starting debt lol.

Then after 08 it all started going to shit

Obama and the brainwipe mindcontrol shit ruined humanity.

The 00s were fucking great. Then social media and smartphones got us into late stage capitalism and everything got out of control. It's funny how the iPhone's release, Twitter's and Facebook's international launch, and one of the greatest economic crises in modern history all took place around the same time.

The vertical line in OP's suicide graph corresponds almost directly with the vertical line of money printing following the 2008 great financial crisis.

1998-2007 was the most based period in all of human existence. Smartphones and social media destroyed the world.

What the fuck are you on about

golden era of civilization. ya there was the war on terror etc. but u had a perfect balance of old world where people socialized more often and it was normal to talk to people, and if u want u could go on the net and it was a wild uncensored place. steve jobs and his faggot ass phone obliterated all coolness in the world.
back in 2005 people weren't expected to know what was going on with politics. People who paid attention were considered losers/nerds. Now everyone is constantly obsessed with politics. fuck steve jobs fuck obama.

Late 90's - early 2000's was peak humanity.

Exactly. I was too young when all started going to shit but I thoroughly enjoyed those years.

Late Stage leftism made few rightwingers and even liberals who hate woke ane late stage leftism commit suicide. I think families need reparations for woke mind damage.

What the fuck are you on about

^ "And the worms ate into HIS brain."

Good video games

Those are probably mostly white kids too? It's because more than 50% of under 25yr olds in the US aren't white. I would kill myself too if I had to live with that.

I don't know, I'm just kind of phoning it in at this point. Let me know when you're ready to stop fucking around.

It's because I've been a meanie to your favorite mega corporations which you are an irredeemable cuck to? Oh, sweetiepie... You're projecting a lot with that tranny shit out of nowhere, too. Utterly disgusting.

Because if we killed ourselves that meant the terrorists won

Its stopped invoking emotions and just started being boring, I can't seriously expect to stay invested in something that doesn't even exist in my life.

occupy wallstreet happened in 2011, jews started DEI, LGBTQ++++ and men are evil campaign on 2012-2013

girls were simultaneously nicer sluts and better pruder girlfriends. indians were people columbus found and india was a magical far away place hippies went to drop acid and pretend to find themselves. the newspapers could only taunt us about our future hispanic overlords in some far flung 20 years ahead future, and people still thought feminism was a dumb cunty thing sometimes. it still sucked though. but it didn't suck as much. did you know we had cell phones but not smart phones back then? that was magical. there were less people. the dollar went further. consumer tech never really progressed beyond this point.

but really, the girls were hot, fit, and wife-worthy. it was a better time.

mega corporations

Are SOCIALIST.

And we hate them here also, but at least smart enough to realize they are SOCIALIST and LEFTIST.

Millennial girls fucked absolutely anyone. Even losers had girlfriends.

Osama bin Laden was still alive

This. I had sex with 8's. After Instagram came out it all stopped.

Millennial girls fucked absolutely anyone.

You shoulda seen what Gen X girls were like.

You'd go broke trying to keep condoms.

There was lot of other things they did. De-sexualized female characters.

Spammed blacked couples in fiction, i think they ruined Powergirl.

They spammed Rap. Ebonics from wggers
increased.

Turned lot of characters gay or dyke. and in the comics too.

They censored the net. Where even small nothings would get censored.

They killed off Pluralism, so poltical and culture wars in everything followed

Then the lame dating websites.

Rise of more tattoos on wahmen.

Trannys grew.

They them shit.

Latinx

And more..

Very sick times in Obama era to up.

The gay op that everything was great was pique functioning.k2htp

Obesity went up.

Women became more fussy.

Radical feminism grew.

Country got less white.

2012 was when they started bringing people into schools to brainwash kids due to obamas new policy. They were pulling some fucked up shit in the schools after that, and even before that.

The golden age of gaming ended in 2013 with GTAV being its gravestone. I had a ps4 reserved for day 1 that I cancelled because they delayed watch dogs (which I ended up never playing) and GTAV was good enough on 360.

Videogames def kept some lonely kids company, there was a good handful of weirdos who hung out with no one and loved gaming. The controlled decline has been happening for a while, but they ramped it up after 2013. 2014-2024 is a decade of mostly shit gaming. It’s starting to come back a little, there are some gems, but the whole ecosystem is extremely poisoned.

This also, the problem is multi-leveled and done purposefully.

We had hope, were able to disconnect, and not everything was super duper serial.

they delayed watch dogs (which I ended up never playing)

You fucked up
Watch Dogs is soft disclosure of what's coming
Including algorithms designed to manipulate you politically based off your biometrics

Depression was probably low in the 90s because people weren't constantly being pitted against each other. Society had a rare sense of unity. No endless guilt, no racial blame games, no walking on eggshells 24/7. White people weren’t demonized, Black people were respected, but not idolized. Everyone could just live without being bombarded with identity politics and moral lectures. Life felt fucking normal ffs, and that peace of mind kept people sane.

Take me back please.

Depression and anxiety, gender confusion

You do realise your children are a product of your parentage. They are a direct reflection on your poor parent skills.

Unemployed

Maybe.

Weed

Not a lot of people even do that, the younger generation is probbaly the least likely to regularly use drugs and alcohol compared to the older generation (absolutely full of potheads yearning for the good old days of drug legal 60's).
Hair dye is cheap, anime porn is free? Explain this.

Fat

Anon, most boomers are fat, and again how you eat is determined by parental skills.

What you're telling me with this image is everyone over 35 is unwilling to blame themselves for their kids.

because trannies didnt exist and at worst you had were furries and homosexuals

Manufacture a fake pandemic to get most of the world to take a shot that will slowly cull the global population

Blame all of the vaccine deaths on other factors like suicide, heart problems, strokes, cancer to misdirect the public from the real cause

Clever. Really clever. You gotta hand it to satan worshipping pedophiles.

Everyone was getting trophies and ribbons until the graduated into full clown world with no skills and no ability to cope with failure and losing.

Everyone's saying it was a good time, but I think more importantly the future looked amazing.
It's not about the technology at the time, it's more about what the future could hold, at the time there was an uninterrupted stream of advancements and it looked like at that rate there would be a technological utopia in about 5 to 10 years
Now there hasn't been a significant technology for the last 10 years. Researchers can't find anything useful and have to regurgitate and make up clickbait studies.

It is a US problem.

The U.S. suicide problem is also the result of a failure to protect younger people better. Suicide rates in the 10- to 24-year-old age group increased 52% between 2000 and 2021. The biggest increase occurred in the early 2010s, alongside the rise of smartphones and social media. Children and teens in the U.S. are spending more and more time in front of screens and on social networks. Research has shown that excessive use of both can lead to depression and anxiety.

euros live in paradise. i don't want to hear you faggots complaining about anything.

Honestly I think 2001 to 2005 was the best time of my life. It's kind of sad that this is the case for me. Honestly I should just kill myself. I provided nothing of value to this world and am a issue for my family. Funny thing is I'm not junkie,drunk or criminal. Yet I'm the black sheep.

But I am retarded

anarchist memeflag

why do you have a memeflag

Halo

Economic conditions were pretty good and there hadn't been a serious crash to affect normal american people in years so entry to mid level jobs were plentiful and promotion opportunities existed for anyone interested and remotely competent. When the 08 crash hit and you had a significant chunk of the freshly retired population have their retirement funds fucked up and forced back into entry level work, suddenly getting into the workforce became a nightmare and purchasing power stagnated. Things stabilized through the mid 2010s but never truly recovered but right when that generation started to make progress in their careers around 2018-2020 covid hit, once again fucked up the low to mid level jobs situation while wiping out all wage progress they'd made in the previous decade with economic costs associated with the retarded pandemic response.

If you got a more recent graph you'd see the line continues along the established trend.

I still remember playing this with my brother as it was snowing outside to our left

That game was so insane I was too young to understand it at first.

Because I had the golden gun mothafucka

I replayed 3 recently. Still great.
They don't make them how they used to.

1999 Seattle WTO protest

2003 documentary The Corporation

No offense but a lot of people saw this future coming from miles away.

Each Halo game has less and less ammo for some reason

era known for emos and linkin park has the lowest

kino vidya such as melee, halo, and san andreas

God those games were great

i remember being very miserable but never even thinking once about suicide because it always seemed like a better and more exiting future was just around the corner.

Man even pre 2020 in 2018 I was working a min wage job and could afford a decent nice little apartment for myself, pay my bills, had a nice little 7k used car I owned outright(which helped since I wasn't paying for the car other than gas), and things were looking pretty good. I don't have that min wage job anymore, but fuck, my heart bleeds for people who are working a min wage job in this economy. I have no idea how they live.

Gen X was miserable and then passed that to their Zoomer kids. Millennials were raised by based boomers who didn’t hate life

Legitimately great time to be alive. Even Anon Babble was fun back then. Hard to imagine for zoomers these days, but life really was just carefree and enjoyable. Glad I got to experience it, but it makes these days suck more since I know what good times felt like.

. Now everyone is constantly obsessed with politics.

I hate this as lots of people really have no business getting into politics, however, the upside to this is that the younger gen is much more right wing.

I did notice that lol
When games were made by experts in their field of interest.
Just a better time for whites.

youtu.be/GKDkKKt9Y7I

Video games and internet were still white majority, so they were a safe haven for the reclusive/antisocial types. Social places irl like malls were still safe. Demographics is always the answer.

it always seemed like a better and more exiting future was just around the corner.

Not really shit just gets worse and worse. I really dont get how people can feel optimistic.

Still had bullies
Internet created well informed bullies

Life was good and we were riding the wave. No point in killing yourself when in the back of everybody's minds a Y2K end of the world was a possibility. The world didn't end and people were grateful and happy, technology was booming and making everyday life better. Then modern smartphones came around and you can see what happened.

They died of opioid overdoses. A lot of them were suicide

The golden era of the entertainment industries made people incredibly optimistic for the future and pacified. Music had many sub cultures and wasn't just nigs 24/7 which bled into real life subcultures like goth, scene, etc. which gave white people an identity despite the country becoming browner. Blockbuster movies were on a huge role with things like LotR, early capeshit, Pirates, etc. that were pure escapism instead of antiwhite lecturing it felt like anything could be adapted and would be made by people who actually gave a shit- it was so pervasive that people still get excited for remakes and live action adaptations today despite them being slop for over a decade. The internet hit a nice sweetspot of accessibility without being drowned by phoneposters, zogbots, etc. Pre-social media internet was amazing. Forum culture was great. Blog culture was sovlful with people effortposting on those like crazy. Once phoneposting and thus social media starting, kikes knew they had to take over the interne, destroying all of that and turned all technology into walled gardens and guided tours. Without all of this quality escapism, the crushing realty of the flood of brown people and the economic downturn became unavoidable.

They're Indians and they live 2 to a bedroom and eat gruel

2009-2011 everyone got a smart phone and got addicted to social media

I wish I could say it's "we banned people from telling to kill themselves" but it's honestly people's self-esteems being shot by instagram and the like

lol golden era of internet was no internet

we could drive at 16, so tended to crash and die street racing shitboxes, or drinking and driving

That's almost a decade old dumbass.

The world was run by evil, but it was done competently by evil geniuses instead of evil retards, who had the restraint to feed the cattle quality circuses instead of feeding them rancid shit out of spite.

Why would that matter?

Oh sweet. A gen x nostalgia thread. Member things? I remember things. When things really were things.

Kirk Cobane really freaked us out.

everyone was promised upper middle class lifestyle as long as they went to college and got a degree, didn't matter which degree. then reality hit

Iphone didn't come out until 2007 you dumb poojit

Emo music saved them.

There was genuine hope for the future. Media was of good quality - golden age of games, semi-golden age of TV, even Hollywood was still making good quality films. Social media hadn't ruined women and you could realistically date 8s and 9s as an average man with some redeeming qualities.
9/11 was the first domino and it's all been downhill since.

It's true, 90s kids really are superior.

the 360 had some really insane release windows.. but that ps2 one might be the most peak i've ever seen for a console

younger gen is much more right wing.

Bullshit. We went from 1-2% of people being gay for the entire history of mankind to fucking almost 30% overnight. Zoomers are the gayest generation EVER TO EXIST, and they’re not even just the gayest. They’re 10x gayer than any generation that has ever existed. They are literally the end of humanity. They are so gay they will end the human race bc ass sex doesn’t make White babies

This. All through the 90s we were constantly told that you could be anything, and I mean anything. And teachers called my parents specifically to tell them how shocked they were that my scores were so good. They told me specifically that I could literally be anything. Now I'm nothing, no job, no wife, no kids, no will to bother with living anymore, and so I'll be killing myself in a year or two.

9/11 wasn't that bad, it was a catalyst for later mistrust of the system, but it was still a small counter-culture. The average westerner hated ben laden and life was good.

I blame 2008 then 2012 occupy wallstreet. Once those hit, we saw a bunch of culture war over irrelevant bullshit so you'd mistrust and hate your fellow man to this day.

Can you imagine the satisfaction of calling someone retarded nigger online and 3 others chime in on it? The satisfaction of calling out people for what they are? The feeling of being able to call someone retard a retard? The way you never had to mince words, but out with what you want to say?

If we see the same thing in the world statistics as in US then most of the answers in the thread can be removed. And we have encountered things that are much more dangerous.

Cheers is disgusting.

No social media, technology seemed to be proceeding at an amazing rate, things were stable, and the effects of too many minorities wasn't obvious to the average person yet.
