I wont lie, the posts about kids that age only having issues if theyve got shitty parents is stinging. I'm doing everything I can.
I'm sorry your daughter is being so heavily impacted by how unstable everything has been for the past few years. Teen years are hard enough without a global pandemic upsetting everything. However, I think this is a misrepresentation. Saying that a child as young as 12 choosing suicide is usually indicative of something being very off with the parents, is very very different from saying that young teens only have issues if they have shitty parents.
Youth mental health is an especially emotional topic, which is why the nuance is so important when discussing it. You may be doing what you can, but many parents don't bother and that's how we end up with situations like the one Archie is in now.
