Social factors, such as the incidence of discrimination and bullying at a school, explain 55 percent of suicidal thoughts. That’s compared with 20 percent that is explained by a student’s individual characteristics, like gender and experiences of victimization.
“Social Factors” “Popular Culture” “Social Media” — I guess the terms should be better defined.
Teenage Suicide seems to be a result of direct influences, not so much “culture”.
