    Are homicides up in the rest of the developed world among youths? I feel that here in Australia, while we have our own fair share of domestic issues, it doesn’t seem anywhere near as widespread that Aussie youths murders/homicides are higher than say, 10 or 20 years ago.

    I don’t have any sources for that, I am writing this up five minutes before I go to sleep, but I think it’s a potential talking point, and if data does corroborate with my hunches on this, maybe it’s not the social media alone and maybe something USA does differently? Maybe the lax gun control?
