America’s children and youth face a serious mental health crisis demanding our immediate attention, compassion, and action. According to the CDC’s 2025 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 39.7% of U.S. high school students experienced persistent sadness or hopelessness, 20.4% seriously considered suicide, and 9.5% attempted suicide within the previous 12 months. Three major areas of concern are harmful 1. social networking/cyber-bullying, 2. drugs and substance misuse, and 3. on-line gambling-related harm, all of which can contribute to emotional distress and worsening mental health. Although suicide rarely results from a single cause, these risk factors deserve urgent attention through education, and early intervention.
