schoolers purposely hurt themselves; and
WHEREAS, around 16 percent of Kentucky children between the ages of 3 and 17
face anxiety or depression; and
WHEREAS, in 2024, 48 percent of American teenagers reported that social media
sites have a mostly negative effect on people in their age group, up from 32 percent in

WHEREAS, experts say that suicide can be preventable when educators, students,
and communities learn the warning signs and how to take action when a young person

WHEREAS, research demonstrates a dose-response relationship between childhood
