MFBKBass5 08/04/19 4:47:45 PM #1:	/sarcasm For real though. Seeing all these people argue online about what the cause is...and I think its ridiculous people try to pinpoint it down to one thing. -Extreme violence in the media, movies, video games, etc -Easy access to assault weapons -Mental health is nearly impossible to afford for anyone needing it -Mental healthy stigmas -overworked Americans who dont get enough vacation time -White males ANY of the above can be the reason. Arguing that its just a mental health issue is false. Yet, admitting that would mean people would go against their political affiliations. Lawd. Its all fucked up and broken. The whole system.

Men arent raising men? What does that even mean? Although I do agree about bottling up emotions. Kids arent being raised correctly. I think in general, expressing feelings and talking through issues is being suppressed. Its a problem. So is false positivity. Put a smile on is a bullshit thing to tell someone whos upset. How about actually ask them whats wrong? There isnt enough human connection in the world anymore, which is ironic considering that were connected more than ever now with technology and the internet. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA <cite>MFBKBass5 posted [p:925617408] in Mind blowi...
