Australian Bureau Statistics shows that 46% of female and 31% of males aged 16-24 have suffered a mental disorder in the last year. A total of 39% of youngsters suffered a mental disorder compared to 26.4% in 2007 and 27% in 1997.

Mental illness was steady until 2010, when it started increasing rapidly.

Social media receives some of the blame.

Left leaning students reported the most depression. Why?

Conservatives place a higher value on personal responsibility. Lefties are led to believe that they are victims of "intractable and systemic injustices", one theory has it.

In in Australia, the usual chestnuts come out:

. Baby boomers have all the money, causing "terrible" inequality.
. The threat of 'climate change'.
. Ongoing "oppression" of aborigines.
. There is "no such thing" as merit, only "levels of privilege".

In short, typical Leftist stinking thinking.

Thanks to their communist leaders, 70% of youngsters believe that they won't ever own property.

Reading the 2022 report, I missed the part which said; "Left leaning students reported the most depression", and the bit about, "communist leaders" Didn't come across the theory that; "Conservatives place a higher value on personal responsibility. Lefties are led to believe that they are victims of "intractable and systemic injustices"" nothing in the report about that. Me thinks the Old Parrot is up to his tricks once more. Like his 'Bin The Bill' thread, a dozen posts and so far, and in more that half its the Parrot replying to himself, sad really. Lets hope this one does better, but I doubt it.

I didn't say anything about a 2022 report, or any other report. You wouldn't have access to my information because we don't move in the same circles.

Your hatred of anyone not like you must be eating away at you like a cancer, you stupid, miserable sod. It's your mental health that is suffering, nobody else's.

Australian Bureau of Statistics, 'National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing' reference period 2020-21 released 22/07/2022. Finding, 46.6% of female and 31.2% of males aged 16-24 have suffered a *mental disorder in the 12 month reference period.

*Disorders typically involved feelings of tension, distress or nervousness. Potentially limiting their interactions with the wider world and impacting the way they live.

It should be noted these feeling are reduced with age

ttbn,

Your opening line "Australian Bureau Statistics shows that 46% of female and 31% of males aged 16-24 have suffered a mental disorder in the last year." That was lifted from the above report, it said nothing about "Leftist Youth and Depression" as you claim from your title. How do you know they weren't Far Right youth suffering depression?

As for the circles YOU move in, those extreme circles you bang on about, with leadership like Bernardi and Hanson, How lucky I am.

Comrade Nasty,

You have made it your obnoxious business to try to cancel posters who are not extreme Left Green lunatics like yourself. The only reason I have responded to a creep like you is to point out something that you are probably too dumb to understand.

The ABS figures were used in the actual essay I read to point out the serious numbers of young depressives. After that, the ABS and whatever they had to say was finished. And, of course the ABS wasn't going to bring politics into it.

You are really dumb if you thought they would.

My information comes from a source much different and much smarter than a bunch of public service bureaucrats, who are just there to crunch numbers.

My source is one of those that you, lacking the intelligence and skills to debate, call Nazis, Far Right, White Supremacists, Racists Haters and other abuse common to ignoramuses like you.

Now, rack off and chat with your two idiot mates about how everyone else is wrong, and only you three should be heard ranting and raving as you do.
