My question is what is the #1 cause? Traffic accidents? Overdosing? Just wondering.

These ordinal-number comparisons are sort of misleading, because young people (thankfully) don't die much. Most fatal diseases and conditions don't crop up until later in life. So the #1 cause for this age group has always been accidents. Homicide was a very distant second, followed closely by suicide. So it didn't take much for suicide to nudge past homicide to become #2. But it's still a distant second behind accidents.

Not that this increase isn't worrisome, but it's a subset of a bigger problem, the increase in depression and suicidal ideation. Suffering counts even if it doesn't end in suicide.

Internet programming and grooming must have some cause in this.

The direct cause is probably the stuff you mention. The root cause is the intentional destruction of hope and joy due to constant fear-mongering and the promotion of hedonism. And it's being done on purpose by adults to flatter their own narcissism. Teachers, administrators, school "club" leaders, youtube influencers, etc. These people are raising your kids unless you actively prevent it.

Protect your children from this stuff or you are complicit. Some day we will all stand before Jesus and account for how we raised our children. I suspect excuses like "I didn't know" won't fly as the signs are everywhere and we have been warned.

I believe the plan is to come after the children. It’s an all out thing. The Devil knows the last vestiges of his plan is to take the children. That is where this is going.

Climate change etc. But the doctors are baffled. #ABV.

I believe some suicides are the result of climate change rhetoric/indoctrination because it causes young people to become hopeless, i.e. there is no future, no reason to have kids, etc.
