interesting that gun suicides went down when students were learning from home, rather than at school. Reduced bullying, or was the early pandemic grill & chill as good for other peoples' mental health as it was for mine?
I think school shootings "declined" because there wasn't a school to go to, not suicides.
What? Gun suicides did go down too though only barely
Yes, but in this graph the decline was around 2017-2018.
It wasn't really much either. It might be statistical noise more than anything meaningful now that I'm looking at it more closely
I went to university with a lot of Americans in Ireland and the stories they'd tell, nerds, jocks everyone. It sounded brutal, the popularity contests and the bullying. Nobody thought of their school days fondly.
