interesting that gun suicides went down when students were learning from home, rather than at school. Reduced bullying, or was the early pandemic grill & chill as good for other peoples' mental health as it was for mine?

I think school shootings "declined" because there wasn't a school to go to, not suicides.

What? Gun suicides did go down too though only barely

[–] Comrade_Improving@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but in this graph the decline was around 2017-2018.

It wasn't really much either. It might be statistical noise more than anything meaningful now that I'm looking at it more closely
