It's normal for girls to experience and self report more sad feelings due to higher neuroticism, and boys/men typically actually commit suicide (as opposed to having suicidal intent, or self reported suicidal thoughts) at 3-4x more likely than women.
That all being said, it's terribly sad to see kids negatively affected by a variety of factors including social media, pandemic responses, and just a generally negative outlook on their future (things like career prospects, finding a partner, living out the "american dream" or other purposeful life)
