Teenage Sex Linked to Suicidal Tendencies: Study

A new Ohio State University study by Sara Sandberg-Thoma published in the Journal of Sex Research shows that the sexualization of children by liberals, such as Planned Parenthood via public schools, leads both boys and girls alike to thoughts of suicide and poor mental health.

The link between casual sex and mental health was found to be the same for both men and women according to the study published in the Journal of Sex Research.

Dr Claire Kamp Dush, professor of human sciences at Ohio State University, said: "That was unexpected because there is still this sexual double standard in society that says it is OK for men to have casual sexual relationships, but it is not OK for women.

Researchers found that each additional casual sexual relationship increased the odds of suicidal thoughts by 18 percent.

From "Casual Sex In Teens Linked To Depression, Suicide: How 'Hooking Up' Can Lead To Mental Health Issues Later" by Sabrina Bachai, Medical Daily 11/20/13

Ten thousand adolescents from 80 high schools and 52 middle schools in grades 7 through 12 were interviewed. The teens were then interviewed again when they were aged 18 to 26. They were surveyed about their romantic relationship experiences as well as depressive symptoms and thoughts of suicide. Casual sexual relationships were reported by 29 percent of the teens interviewed. "Casual sex" was defined in the study as having sex with a partner that one was not "dating."

Kamp Dush also believes that casual sexual relationships may hurt the ability of young adults to develop committed relationships at an important time in their development. She also believes that researchers need to look closely at other measures of mental health.

Patients Who Would Choose Assisted Suicide Would Do So Not Because of Pain, but Depression/Fear of Being a Burden

From "Patients Who Would Choose Assisted Suicide Would Do So Not Because of Pain, but Depression/Fear of Being a Burden" by John Jalsevec, posted 6/11/07 at Lifesite.net

According to a recent study that interviewed 379 Canadian patients who were receiving palliative care for cancer between 2001 and 2003, over half of those patients (62.8%) believed that assisted suicide should be legalized.

But of the 238 participants in the study who argued that assisted suicide should be legal, only 22 (5.8%) said they would actually exercise the option right away if it were legal, and over half of those 22 said they would do so, not because of heightened levels of pain associated with their illness, but because they felt they were a burden to their family or the health care system.

The study, entitled “Desire for euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide in palliative cancer care” was published in the most recent issue of Health Psychology, a journal of the APA.

Dr. Keith Wilson, the lead researcher on the study, commented to the Canadian Press on the issue of the 22 patients who said they would have chosen assisted suicide were it legal.

“It turns out for those 22 people we’re talking about, the issues were much more complicated than pain,” said Dr. Wilson. “They didn’t tend to have any more pain than the people who didn’t want assisted suicide. But they did tend to feel sicker, they did tend to feel weaker. They were more likely to be depressed, and they felt that they had become a burden to others.”
