To support this: https://www.charliehealth.com/research/the-us-teen-suicide-r...

According to the CDC, teen suicide rate is up over 33% from 1999.

(Obviously, social media doesn't have to be the only cause. But something is producing a material difference and it's hard to say social media isn't a leading one.)
