Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro wrote an interesting piece for The Daily Wire last week about the epidemic of youth suicides in America. The suicide rate among adolescents has jumped by 70% in recent years. The suicide rate for all age groups has risen dramatically, and now stands at a 30-year high.
Shapiro correctly traced the problem not to economic or even psychological concerns, but to the human spirit. Many people in our secular society do not know why they exist and cannot figure out why they should continue existing. Our culture will not provide an acceptable answer to this question, and so they only feel more lost the more they look for one. I agree with Shapiro that this is where the suicide epidemic really begins. Now I’d like to extend his point a little further.
