I don't agree with your assessment, or with many of the replies.
That's just not how this works.
Yes, I agree that a lot of kids now are faking it, or simply haven't developed the necessary "coping skills", but this is a particularly bad outlook to have...
Trust me, when you have actual mental illness, "stfu and gbtw" is literally the worst advice possible. It just doesn't work. I wish it did, but it doesn't.
These sorts of generalisations are how we end up with ever-increasing rates of youth suicide.
You might be okay with that; Imp might be okay with that, but dismissing mental health problems as literally nonexistent is really, really... Not good.
This is not the "own" you presumably think it is...

Maybe you are the 1% that has actual physical brain damage. But that doesn't make my statement any less correct.
If it isn't brain damage then it is your ego tying you in knots by desperately hanging on to some kind of false assumption because letting go of it requires more courage than you are currently able to muster.
youth suicide.
"If you don't agree with me you want kids to kill themselves". This is exactly the kind of scheming manipulation that women and trannies use. Disagree with me fine but do it better than that.
Why is the black suicide significantly lower than the White suicide rate? Why is the suicide rate so low in third world shithole countries? If the cause is "mental illness" then why are people in countries with functioning toilets all crazy?
If someone can't figure something out you teach them how to figure it out. You don't re-draw society to accommodate individual defects, or allow people to use their personal defects as excuses.
"stfu and gbtw" is basically "pull yourself up by the bootstraps". There's not a lot to say here. Some people don't have the internal reference to understand that there are problems you can't solve that way. There's no point explaining it, you can't give someone that internal reference with words.
