New Data Shows Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm Increasing In Children | NBC Nightly News
I feel bad for the mom and daughter I hope their both doing well wherever they are
I actually started when I was 10, and no one could even suspect because people don’t bother to check on their children. I continue today and I feel like I could’ve gotten away if people hadn’t always ignored how I was acting.
maybe my mom would actually be a mother. if i wasnt here anymore but you cant be one if you dont have a child anymore? oh wasnt that her dream to not have kids anyway.
Ok look I’m not trying to be rude to the family at all. I wish for the best for them but like a field? Suicide??? I’m a little sus
Hugs to the mom she is your guardian angle now talk to her when you miss her it will help you. Put her picture on the fridge and talk sing to her while you cook.
I spoke about this to someone online earlier and they said I was spouting propaganda its sick how no one cares what's happening to our kids. According to the cdc most kids get mild cold symptoms there is no reason they need to miss out on childhood enough is enough! At the very least they need free online zoom classroom time to talk to each other about kid stuff not everyone is good at making friends right away especially online though. So encouraging social interaction has to take place.
What a heartbreak, such a lovely daughter. Thank you for sharing during times like these. I lost a daughter too. she was 19. see Deborah Gordon rest in Peace. Please be strong, they are in a better place.
There's sum else wrong maybe she was getting bullied

Rest in Peace to her daughter. That is truly heartbreaking. I lost my mom to suicide so I know it’s not easy.
Covid lockdowns side effects
ten years old? oh my god….this is heartbreaking
The lockdowns by Demoncrats will have to go to the hague for crimes against humanity.
Fake News Media can join them as well.
Absolutely Depressing
Children cannot commit suicide. They cannot consent to that.
I am 11 and I am suicidal Ima give up soon because I am tired of being yelled at and my mom said to get over it and I am not suicidal and I tired smiling I tried talking to someone I said I would be a good person I promised God i will try to get away from my sins and I failed so I am scared of going to h*ll I am scared because and I got bullied at 8 and when I was in school I kinda got bullied☹️ and I self harm and take pills I don’t know what to do anymore everyone thinks I want attention I don’t and I really don’t go outside or with my parents anymore and my grades are dropping I am
Tired of being here!
Top notch parenting…
Being a mental health professional, this is my advice to you… Keep them off social media and spend time with your babies. If you notice anything strange, get help. Sometimes kids will speak about it as if their friends are in trouble, ask more questions and make them feel safe.
The thing is when we're kids we wanna be teen/adult to escape from the sadness in our lives. But, what we don't realise is that kid, teen, adult or literally a person of ANY age can end up in the same situation. It's not about 10yr old or 45yr old, it's the fact that a person committed suicide. Even their family and friends don't notice, even their parents they make their kids feel like they're not good enough for not getting good grades, society judges them for not being "perfect". All the bullying, body shaming, bad grades, family problems, stress results to low self-esteem and depression and with that comes anxiety, physical unexplainable pain, self-harm and what not.
I request everyone to be kind, and tell everyone to love themselves rather than making them think that "they're not good enough" or any comments about their physical appearance too.
Everyone please stay safe, stay strong and stay Alive 💕and be genuinely happy and If anyone wants to talk I'm here, okay?💞🤗
In today's life your family is your biggest enemy
This is very sad news and is important to address now, more than ever, during the pandemic. They fail to state teen suicides are increasing with children and teens in single parent households which is a significant statistical data point in this case. And I believe she's having another child (pregnant), still as a single parent that had a very negative outcome with her previous child that died by suicide. #parentalalienation #childabuse #Suicide
The solution: #equalsharedparenting
My condolence I’m crying with you.
am sorry for her lost my condolence i sent but watching her tell the story its to many loop hole in this that leaves me wondering about the mom…praying…so sad…
How could young children even think of doing anything like that? We didn't ever even think of anything like that when we were young!
Access to mental health treatment needs to be more supported. As a therapist, I can say that many insurance companies do not cover family therapy at all, and for individual therapy they reimburse at rates that do not allow therapists to make a living. We can only see so many people responsibly per day or week and give them the attention they richly deserve and need. Please call your insurance companies and demand coverage for mental health and reimbursement rates that cover therapist's rates. Therapy cannot be a warehouse through which people are shuttled, it takes a lot of thoughtful work to make sure proper care is being provided. Please take a stand and demand coverage.
They should do an honest study showing the number one cause of death in the US. My guess is the truth would never see the light of day because the number one killer above heart disease, accidents, covid, cancer… would be THE NEWS. Now that the kids are stuck at home, they can’t even take it anymore. “Normalized” talking about mental health care. Righto!What’s truly unfortunate is that this country has lost all sense of it’s moral compass. If a corporation or the gov itself can make one dollar, it has no problem using any means necessary to gain said funds. This includes propaganda 24/7. There was a time when this was unacceptable, period. But, hey we won the war on drugs as long as winning doesn’t include actually winning. History is written by the victor so facts are irrelevant.
This scares me sinc emy sister is 10 year old
The store was open. Where was the babysitter.
Sad story. I have questions though. You didn't address what adult was watching her.
Was she babysitting herself every day while her mother was at work?
If NBC can tell us a complete story I would appreciate it.
I know certain ages cannot be left alone in the house by themselves.
Omg iam crying right now
Parent's talk to your children's
What happened to this poor baby? I can't stop crying, this is so sad.
I don’t call it suicide.
I call it population control.
World is over populated anyway, so who cares?
lol XD
💔
Doctor, take that stupid mask off and lead the other DICTORS. It's a sham and kids haven't found how to fit in. Kids are more perceptive than their adults…They are seeing weakness.
ALL THIS EVIL AND DEATH DUE TO GREEDY OLD MEN OVER PROFITS AND EVIL AGENDAS.
So very sad!! Does anyone know how she committed suicide? I assume the do not mention it for a reason. Peace
