Why Do All My Friends Want to Kill Themselves?

Usually anyone dealing with too much info have to be trained to handle it - soldiers/pilots/ER docs/air traffic controllers etc etc. Most people who have to deal with it without the training just break down.

Kids are esp vulnerable as they are targeted specifically with all kinds of info.

I teach part time and see a lot of anxiety and depression. The current thinking about this is to not take away the internet but the device. The device makes us face these environments alone. But it you put the kid in a group setting...class room or a living room with internet access the way they handle the overload changes. They feel safer and less depressed/anxious about the negative triggers. Still lot of research needs to be done though...
