Whats wrong with teens these days?

[Everest]

First of all, not all teens are like this. You're describing a select few who are into that whole death rocker vibe. Plus, it's extremely rude for you to judge people for being suicidal or depressed. Just because someone is suicidal or they self harm doesn't mean they're "obsessed with suicide and cutting."

Anyway, there are multiple reasons - the media romanticizes violence and suicide; school is very demanding; and death rockers are growing in popularity. The main reason is that a lot of kids these days have depression and anxiety, which can result in this behavior. Depression or anxiety can be caused by school, death of a loved one, bullying, bad home life, etc. Don't judge people for being depressed (that's mainly directed at the answers that said "I love life I don't understand why anyone is depressed").

PS Just because these kids are into dark stuff doesn't mean they're going to become murderers... you need to learn to be tougher. It's extremely childish and unreasonable to be scared that your future coworkers will murder you.

PPS Yes, people have acted like this in past decades. Research Marilyn Manson, the band Mayhem, etc... not only did they do f*cked up stuff; I'm sure their fans did as well.
