Suicidul în rândul fetelor de 10-14 ani, în creștere. „Mediul online poate deveni unul dintre locurile în care anumite vulnerabilități sunt amplificate”

The suicide rate among girls aged 10-14 is rising, raising concerns among specialists. A recent study highlights the impact of social media on mental health, particularly for young girls. Factors such as social comparison, pressure for acceptance, and online presence contribute to this vulnerability. The digital environment alters how adolescents experience group belonging, with constant connectivity amplifying feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Experts emphasize that while social media can exacerbate mental health issues, it is not the sole cause of suicide, which is a complex phenomenon influenced by various factors. Parents are encouraged to engage with their children about their online experiences and seek professional help if signs of distress arise.
