Cool. You think that explains the findings in TFA related to adolescent boys?

The original topic and comment are about men. It is possible boys have a different reason, but it wouldn't be applicable to the discussion taking place anyway. However, "girl problems" does still seem like a likely candidate for that group as well. Most children don't have much else to worry about. We, generally speaking, try to doe everything we can to shield them from reality.

It could. As a father of a 18yo I can tell that they are very well aware of what awaits them in their adult lives.

Really? They may think they're aware. but don't be swayed by their confidence. As a grown man, you know life has a way of surprising you.

He's saying: They are aware of problems other adults face.

It is absolutely true that someone else's life doesn't define their own future path, but that doesn't mean they don't latch onto those stories and project the negativity onto themselves. One cannot predict the future so the experiences of others is all one has.

I’m the father of a 17 year old. He is very aware of the many challenges facing his generation and this is not a topic of concern for him or his peer-group. It’s almost as if this particular thread is dominated by selection bias.

My comment is about grown men going through grief because of biased laws. What is the relation to "TFA related to adolescent boys"?

Now, to answer your data points regardless - I don't think you understand that divorce isn't in isolation, it obviously affects entire families, including children. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there is more data showing these young boys are from broken homes.

TFA means 'the article in the post'. They are asking you how your comment is relevant to the article being discussed.

Oh, got it. The article is actually a rehash of an official government publication:

https://www.canada.ca/en/services/health/publications/health...

And in here, you will find:

     Men die by suicide at about 3 times the rate of women. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among men and boys aged 15 to 34.

This is what I was responding to.

there's way to many comments projecting their issues on to the title.
