Rigid cultural expectations, rampant mental health stigma, and a pervasive lack of privacy create an environment where adolescent stressors are magnified, leading to heightened vulnerability.

Communities like Poplar Grove, despite their advantages, still bear the weight of youth suicide problems, prompting us to rethink how we create supportive environments.

By exposing youth to the idea of suicide as a solution to overwhelming pressure, we risk legitimizing it as an option instead of fostering healthier coping mechanisms.
