These people in the media and government kept claiming for years that the youth was going to be more liberal. It turns out, this is only true in America, where the youth is nonwhite.

White youth oppose this entire gay agenda.

This makes sense, because there is obviously no future for white people under this system. The boomers were able to do all of these destructive things and then they can just die with no consequences. But the whites are going to have to deal with all of these problems in very real terms in their own personal lives.

European Conservative:

Increasingly dissatisfied with the conditions under which they live—the growing prospect of war in Europe, a precipitously declining standard of living, mass migration, and a bleak future in general—a large number of Germany’s youth now view the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) as the party which best articulates their concerns.

Findings from the 2024 Jugend in Deutschland study, published days ago, have revealed that 22% of Germans aged between 14 and 29 years old would vote for the AfD if federal elections were held today, making the rightist, anti-globalist party the most favored among young people.

AfD’s favorability among young Germans has spiked sharply compared to past years, rising from 9% and 12% in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and has come at the expense of the parties in the ruling left-liberal traffic light coalition.

Support for the Greens, which in 2022 stood at 27%, has tumbled to 18%. The liberal pro-business FDP, having largely kneeled to all of the dictates from the Greens and the SPD since forming the coalition, has seen its standing among youths nose-dive even more drastically, plummeting from 19% in 2022 to a mere 8%.

…

Among the chief concerns for young people is not climate change, LGBTQ rights, or gender ideology, as the mainstream globalist press might have it, but rising costs and a lower standard of living due to inflation (65%), the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East (60%), and overpriced and scarce housing (54%).

Deteriorating social cohesion, the managerial state’s disproportionate concern for migrants and asylum seekers, the growing risk of an economic crisis, and the prospect of poverty in old age are also worrying vast numbers of young Germans.

Youth sentiments reflect issues raised almost exclusively by the AfD.

Over half (51%) believe “the state cares more about refugees than about Germans in need of help” and reject the notion that “taking in many refugees is good for Germany” while53% agreed with the statement: “In Germany, you can’t say anything bad about foreigners without being called a racist.”

Notably, and perhaps counterintuitively, the respondents’ personal migration background had minimal impact on their views about asylum seekers. The study shows similar levels of concern over too many refugees between Germans with and without migration backgrounds.

Yeah, that’s because the different groups of “migrants” all hate each other and want fewer of the groups they hate. Further, a lot of those “migrants” are probably whites from the former communist bloc, who are more or less integrated into Germany (and even if they’re not integrated, don’t have any interest in the country becoming browner).

We should note that Germany, while nowhere near as bad as America, does have a fair amount of brown people among the under-30s, primarily due to the policies of Angela Merkel.

It would be interesting to see a poll of only white youths.

Young Australians Experiencing “High Psychological Distress” Because of Global Warming Hoax https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/04/20/young-australians-experiencing-high-psychological-distress-because-of-global-warming-hoax/ Thu, 20 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This is like what they did to kids during the Cold War, when they were constantly telling them they were going to get nuked by the Russians.

The Russians weren’t ever going to nuke anyone. Well, not back then. They might now. But now, no one is even talking about it. Instead they’re telling kids the weather is going to kill them.

The lesson is: it is never normal to fill children with fear about things they have no control over. This should be obvious to everyone, but it has somehow been acceptable for decades.

The Guardian:

Ruby Bron feels “helpless” and “anxiety-ridden” when she thinks about the future and the irreversible damage occurring because of the climate crisis.

The 17-year-old Sydney student says without drastic action to cut emissions, her generation will be left to deal with the climate crisis in an increasingly damaged and volatile world.

“That is a massive responsibility placed on us,” Bron said. “Anxiety builds up.”

Ruby Bron

She said the climate crisis was such a big issue and causing so much harm that sometimes she felt like it was impossible to fight it.

“There is a constant occurrence of disasters,” she said. “Fires, floods, droughts and cyclones.

“These disasters affect people’s livelihoods, their homes, the way their communities run. In that world, there would be a lot of disappointment and regret that nothing was done sooner.”

The youth mental health organisation, Orygen, and Mission Australia on Thursday released the findings of a survey of nearly 19,000 young Australians aged 15-19.

More than a quarter (26%) said they were “very concerned” or “extremely concerned” about the climate crisis, and 38% said they experienced high psychological distress, the survey found.

Those who reported being very or extremely concerned were more likely to report higher levels of distress, lower wellbeing and more negative feelings about the future.

Dr Caroline Gao, a biostatistician and epidemiologist at youth mental health organisation Orygen, and co-author of the report, said the impact of the climate crisis on mental health was “an emerging but significant issue” that would probably grow as global heating becomes more severe.

…

Dr Catriona Davis-McCabe, president of the Australian Psychological Society, said it was an “understatement” to say young Australians were anxious about the climate crisis.

“They are despairing,” she said. “Psychologists are seeing an increase in people of all ages presenting with psychological distress they attribute to concern for the climate.”

Davis-McCabe said many young people were telling their psychologists that they felt as though they will not have a world to live in.

“Where climate anxiety used to be something only a small group of patients were worried about, it is now one of the most common issues psychologists are discussing with young people,” she said.

“Some young patients are reconsidering what their future should look like, including whether they should have children of their own. To make things worse, it has never been more difficult for young people to access psychological services.”

I just don’t… I don’t…

Worst case. Worst case. Why would it matter if it was a little bit hotter outside?

Are these people that worried about swamp ass?

Suicide Rate Among People Aged 10 to 24 Increased 56% Between 2007 and 2017, CDC Reports https://www.anglinarchive.com/2019/10/17/suicide-rate-among-people-aged-10-to-24-increased-56-between-2007-and-2017-cdc-reports/ Thu, 17 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin

Yes, these are almost all white, almost all male.

The Wall Street Journal:

The suicide rate among people ages 10 to 24 years old climbed 56% between 2007 and 2017, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rate of homicide deaths decreased by 23% from 2007 to 2014 but then increased by 18% through 2017.

Violent death, including homicide and suicide, is a major cause of premature death for the age group. Around 2010, the death rate of suicides among adolescents and young adults surpassed the rate of homicide deaths, according to the report.

“The chances of a person in this age range dying by suicide is greater than homicide, when it used to be the reverse,” said Sally Curtin, a statistician at the CDC and an author of the report. “When a leading cause of death among our youth is increasing, it behooves all of us to pay attention and figure out what’s going on.”

Suicide rates in general have increased in the U.S. across all ages and ethnic groups, rising roughly 30% from 1999 to 2016. In 2017, suicide was the second-leading cause of death among those ages 10 to 24, behind unintentional injuries, such as car crashes or drug overdoses. Homicide deaths ranked third, according to a CDC report from June 2019.

…

Despite concern over the rising suicide rates, researchers aren’t sure of the exact causes. A rise in depression among adolescents, drug use, stress and access to firearms might all be contributing factors, experts say.

Some mental-health experts suggest that social-media use among teens might be fueling the increase in mental-health conditions and leading to greater suicide risk, and some early studies have linked smartphone use to anxiety, depression and sleep deprivation among adolescents.

The recent visibility of suicide in the media and online might also increase suicide death rates, experts say.

Drug use and suicide generally have the same cause, and suicides are classified with drug overdoses as “deaths of despair.” So that isn’t really a reason for suicide.

Probably, the glorification of self-harm and suicide in the media is part of why the numbers are going up – but again, this isn’t a root cause. That would just be pushing someone over the edge.

Homicide deaths among youths in the U.S. had decreased dramatically since the 1990s and were mostly in decline and stable through 2014, says Daniel Webster, the co-director for the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence.

The growth in homicide death rates in 2015 and 2016 were largely concentrated in a few cities, such as St. Louis and Chicago.

The increased homicides are most likely related to drug markets, poverty and the breakdown in the relationship between police and communities, according to experts on youth violence, but it is hard to discern what is influencing the national change.

School-related shootings account for less than 2% of all youth homicide deaths in the U.S., according to the CDC. While school-related mass shootings garner significant attention, they likely don’t influence the national trend.

Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2018 suggests that the slight upward trend in youth homicide deaths from 2014 through 2017 has started to reverse again.

The cause of these suicides among young people is the same as the cause of suicides among older people and the same as the cause of drug use and the same as the cause of depression and the use of psychiatric drugs.

It is the collapse of our social order, which is a result of the collapse of the family, which is mostly or entirely due to feminism.

None of these studies on child suicide include rates of divorced parents, but I suspect they would be close to 100%, if you also included family in the midst of divorce or living in separate homes. (A 2011 study looked at the higher rate of “suicidal thoughts” in children of divorce, finding boys three times more likely to consider it if their parents were divorced.)

Every single problem in our society can be linked back to the collapse of the nuclear family, and in fact, we can also find that the Jews were well aware that if they wanted to implode a society, destroying the family would be the primary objective.

Everyone needs to look at the 1950 book “The Authoritarian Personality” by Theodor Adorno.

Adorno was a member of the Frankfurt School, a group of Jewish cultural terrorists who were run out of Germany by a certain very serious man with a mustache.

The Authoritarian Personality is an allegedly scientific examination of the “causes of fascism and anti-Semitism,” and the conclusion that is drawn is that a person who grows up within a strong family with a strong father figure, and identifies with their father as an authority figure, is more likely to support an authoritarian ruler and is thus more likely to support… turning Jews into lampshades and soap.

The solution then offered by the Jews is that the family must be abolished in order to save the Jews from being lampshaded.

(The book also made the claim that if a family is strong, the sons are oppressed by the father, and this causes them to become homosexuals, which then leads to repressed homosexuality, which also leads to gassing Jews. Needless to say, that part of the theory is no longer active.)

The book is itself absolutely ridiculous and incomprehensible, and very few copies of it were actually ever printed, because it was so weird and Jewish. However, it was cited a lot more times that it was printed, with Jews throughout academia pushing the idea that fatherly male authority was their biggest threat.

And so it was that beginning in the 1950s, Jews began their project to totally and completely implode the Western family.

This process was done almost entirely through the “empowerment” of women.

All of the early feminists were Jews, including Betty Friedan, author of “The Feminine Mystique,” a book which faked a bunch of data to claim that housewives were totally miserable and constantly having affairs with random strangers.

This book was marketed to housewives and younger women who would have become housewives. And it set the stage for the Jew Gloria Steinem to go marching through the streets, demanding the goyim women all start throwing hysterical fits.

These “liberation” protests set the stage for legalizing abortion and no-fault divorce, as well as setting up “family courts” where men who were the victims of divorce would be forced to pay astronomical amounts of money to women who abandoned them and stole their children.

All of this was completely Jewish, and all of it had the purpose of hurting you.

Jews celebrate when they see these rates of young people committing suicide. Because this was always the goal.

92% of All HIV Positive Young People are Faggots https://www.anglinarchive.com/2017/05/11/92-of-all-hiv-positive-young-people-are-faggots/ Thu, 11 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Eric Striker

Some time ago, I wrote a research piece which concluded that homosexuals treat the transmission of HIV as either an after-thought or a thrilling sexual novelty.

That’s easy for them, since society pays the price. No disease has seen the monumental advances of HIV/AIDS research in the last three decades, and that is because of the massive amounts of resources both the government and private corporations pour into creating scientific marvels like “PrEP,” which is basically a birth-control pill but for AIDS.

Meanwhile, diseases that kill millions and are not preventable are under-funded and put on the back burner. In other words, millions of normal people die just so fags can hook-up with strangers without the inconvenience of wearing a condom.

LifeSite News:

More than 9 in 10 new HIV cases among young men and boys ages 13 to 24 in the U.S. occur among homosexuals and bisexuals, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The April 25 CDC report, “HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men,” offers stark evidence of the extreme health risks associated with male homosexual sex, in particular receptive anal sex. Below are some of its findings:

— Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92 percent of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27 percent of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men;

— Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men made up an estimated 2 percent of the population, but 55 percent of people living with HIV in the United States in 2013;

— From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses decreased in the United States by 19 percent overall but increased 6 percent among all gay and bisexual men;

— 1 in 6 gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime, including 1 in 2 black gay and bisexual men, 1 in 4 Hispanic gay and bisexual men, and 1 in 11 white gay and bisexual men;

— Nearly 1 in 7 gay and bisexual men living with HIV are unaware they have it;

— Anal sex is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV. Receptive anal sex is 13 times as risky for acquiring HIV as insertive anal sex.

I won’t get into details, but contracting HIV requires extreme promiscuity and violence in “sex” even by queer standards. Where in the world do 13, 14, 15-year-oldself-identified gay children contract HIV unless they’re being abused by a pedo-fag adult?

With all the “openness,” prevention and treatments available, fags are still contracting and spreading AIDS, with rates increasing, not declining. That is because the sex education of today tells young people that engaging in homosexual activity is perfectly normal, even admirable, and has no consequences.Any educational curriculum emphasizing the link between unnatural sex acts and all the horrible STDs you can contract from it would be immediately struck down by Jews.

If you look at our elites, the second most over represented group after Jews is homosexuals. That other two percent has a Faustian bargain, where they are given access to little boys and handed the cultural reins in exchange for providing a Gentile face to a Jewish plan. Former Vice President Joe Biden even admitted that homosexuality is a Jewish plot.

And you wonder why conservatives who stress the obvious contradiction of rainbow touting LGBTPs marching for more Islamic immigration never resonate with anyone?

I don’t care how many things Gavin McInnes can fit into his butt. Opposing faggotry isn’t about religion or even visceral disgust, it’s a preventable health hazard ruining millions of lives and costing us billions of dollars. If we lived in a sane world, all the money wasted on despicable queers could be given to a more worthy cause, like the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Nazi Club at New Jersey High School Causes Yiddish Apoplexy https://www.anglinarchive.com/2015/05/17/nazi-club-at-new-jersey-high-school-causes-yiddish-apoplexy/ Sun, 17 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin

Brotherhood: It is more important than the combined whole of everything else we talk about on this site.
Brotherhood: It is more important than the combined whole of everything else we talk about on this site. Without it, nothing else can exist.

The Yids are flipping their lids over a White Power group at a New Jersey high school.

I would like to give a personal “Sieg Heil!” shout-out to our brothers and comrades at Pascack Valley High School in Bergen County, and congratulate them on getting the ADL to respond to their brave actions in defense of their race.

Westwood-Hillsdale Patch:

In an open letter to students and faculty on Smoke Signals, the student news site for Pascack Valley High School in Hillsdale, the Pascack Valley Human Rights League detailed a series of alleged racial and ethnic slurs directed at students at Pascack Valley High School, according to the ADL.

The alleged incidents include: formation of a white supremacist club, swastikas drawn in the hallway and in bathrooms, uses of the “n” word and other racial slurs, and white power signs displayed by students at sporting events and on social media, according to the ADL.

On the school’s “Smoke Signals” website, bitter bitches called for action against the brave young defenders of Western Civilization.

“These allegations, if true, are deeply disturbing,” said Joshua Cohen, ADL New Jersey Regional Director. “Schools must provide safe environments free of racism, prejudice and bigotry, which facilitate learning and understanding among students from diverse backgrounds. We urge the district to investigate and address these allegations.”

In other word: “shut it down!”

That is really the only phrase these Jew organizations need, as it is all they are ever saying.  I am tired of the endless babbling of these groups and would much prefer it be simplified.  The ADL could, for instance, replace their entire website with a picture of the gates of Auschwitz and the words “shut it down,” and it would be understood to have the same meaning.

Superintendent Erik Gundersen said these actions were performed by a small group of students who “subscribe to white supremacist viewpoints,” according to nj.com. Some of these students have been disciplined, and he said the school is taking the matter very seriously.

The ADL said it has reached out to the superintendent of Pascack Valley Regional High School District, encouraging the school to take to investigate and address the situation. The ADL has also offered to work with administrators to address bias, bigotry, and bullying.

“We hope the district will take us up on this offer,” the organization said in a statement.

“We are in your base, indoctrinating your children.”

I think the White Power club is a great idea, and would encourage our high school readers (there are a lot) to form such clubs.  However, I would advise you to avoid trouble, and keep your beliefs as secretive as possible.  Devise some sort of membership scheme, and only allow in those whom you trust.  Keep a low profile, but stick together, educate one another and engage in healthy activities together such as sports, weight-lifting, martial arts, etc.  Also, do the paleo diet.

We need brotherhood, and the guys you run with as teenagers will be your brothers for life.  Remember that.

Also remember: “adolescence” is a social construct invented relatively recently.  If you are post-puberty, you are not a child.  You are a grown adult man and you should do your very best to act like it in everything you do.

Internet Chimpout Commences After High School Student Tweeted That Blacks Should Move Back to Africa https://www.anglinarchive.com/2014/11/30/internet-chimpout-commences-after-high-school-student-tweeted-that-blacks-should-move-back-to-africa/ Sun, 30 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000 Lee Rogers

internet-chimpout
A Black computer user struggles to respond to a Tweet stating that they should move back to Africa.

An Internet chimpout commenced after a high school student tweeted that Blacks should move back to Africa following the Ferguson grand jury decision and subsequent riots.  Initially the only regret she had was that there was a typo in her original tweet which had the word “back” misspelled (presumably due to the autocorrect funtion on the phone, not because she didn’t know how to spell “back”).

She would later apologize after a bunch of Blacks chimped out and dug up private information on her.  Harassing e-mails were sent to her high school which prompted the school itself to apologize for her tweet.

go-back-to-africa-tweet

Let me say this.  This high school student is 100% correct in saying that Blacks should move back to Africa.  I am tired of Blacks whining and complaining about how the White man keeps them down because their ancestors were slaves 200 years ago.  If you feel that America is such a “racist” culture you should leave.  It is that simple.

Truth be told, there is little to no White “racism” against Blacks.  Innocent incidents are blown out of proportion by the Jew run media to convince people there is this “racist” phenomenon by Whites against Blacks when it is virtually non-existent.  We here in internet racist circles are about as racist as it gets, and all we want is for Blacks to either behave like normal people or go home, there is no “hatred for the color of the skin.”

I have yet to meet a single White person in America that hates all Black people simply based on the color of their skin.  I’ve met people who realize that there are distinct differences between Whites and Blacks and who have made fun of those differences, but that’s not “racism.”  They’re just realists.

If there really was all of this White “racism” against Blacks, there’d be no affirmative action programs, no multicultural programs, no welfare for Blacks and so on.  Everybody in the ruling establishment is afraid to express views that are construed to be remotely “racist” against Blacks despite the obviously ridiculous behavior of many Black people.  So once again please tell me where all of this “racism” is?

The reason why Blacks are less successful than Whites is not because of “racism” but because on average they are not as creative or as intelligent and are more prone to engage in violent behavior.  If that hurts your feelings, you can shove off.  I’ll never apologize for saying it unless a Black man somehow invents a time travel machine or something.

Buzzfeed posted a few of the retarded responses from the resulting Internet chimpout.  I laughed because these tweets from these chimps prove my point about Blacks not being as intelligent.  I am not going to bother wasting my time refuting their points because they are so ridiculous.  I was however impressed with Funsized H8a Magnet’s grasp of the English language.  He may very well be the Black man who invents a time travel machine and proves me wrong about the intelligence of Blacks.

Finnish Youth Becoming Increasingly Racist https://www.anglinarchive.com/2014/11/03/finnish-youth-becoming-increasingly-racist/ Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin

Professor Sakari Suutarinen is believed by many Nazis and other racists to be a dirty fellow.
Professor Sakari Suutarinen is believed by many Nazis and other racists to be a dirty fellow.

A liberal professor in Finland has come out with a study which allegedly shows that Finnish boys hold the most negative attitudes toward immigrants out of 38 countries, yle reports. The academic figure has criticized schools for not getting students more involved in “democracy.”

Sakari Suutarinen, an associate professor from the University of Jyväskylä, claims the levels of “racial intolerance” have been rising since the year 2000. A casual observer might note that immigration levels have also been rising in this timeframe, but the professor failed to make this connection.

In a soft and foreboding tone, the professor warned that if "racial intolerance levels" exceed 9000, Nazism will go Super Saiyan and start lampshading immigrants.
In a soft and foreboding tone, the professor warned that if “racial intolerance levels” exceed 9000, Nazism will go Super Saiyan and start lampshading immigrants.

The professor spoke at the Central Finland Future Forum conference, saying  “School attainment tests show that over recent decades critical attitudes towards immigrants are growing in Finland among young boys, and that the same group has negative attitudes towards all other ethnic groups.”

The professor, who is considered to be of villainous intent by many Nazis and other racists, then called for immigrant communities along with everyone else to do something to stop these haters.  While making out to be a total bro, he implied that the rising masculine sentiment must be shut down.

It is unclear what he expects immigrants to do to stop these negative attitudes towards them, though maybe he was hint-hinting that they need to stop being so gross and weird, maybe scaleback the rape jihad a tad-bit.  He did note that maybe they should stop their people from going on Syrian adventure saga with ISIS, but I don’t think any racists actually care if they do that.

The situation here is way too obvious for any liberal professor to be able to understand: Liberalism has run its cycle.  The core concept of liberalism is to liberate everything, and now that everything has been liberated, there is no more fuel for that engine.  Thus, young White people now want to liberate themselves from the liberation of others.

Along with this is the more obvious fact that increasing levels of Muslims will necessarily lead to an increasing level of hatred for Muslims.  If Muslims are living in Muslim countries doing Muslim things – as almost all of them were before the year 2000 – then no one in Europe has any reason to hate them.  The idea that these liberals have literally argued that more familiarity with other racial groups leads to more acceptance of these groups is borderline retarded on the face of it, and has been disproved repeatedly in studies.

I know I didn’t have any negative feelings toward other racial groups growing up in an almost entirely White society.  The non-Whites who were around – less than 1% – were capable of imitating the behavior of Whites, and I was led to believe that the statement “race is only skin deep” was true.  However, when I eventually was forced to interact with large numbers of Blacks, it only took about ten minutes to figure out reality: these people are completely different than us, and totally incompatible with our society.

I wonder how much time Professor Sakari Suutarinen has spend in Muslim immigrant neighborhoods in Helsinki?  I’m guessing not very much.

Young Married Men Almost Totally Extinct in England and Wales https://www.anglinarchive.com/2014/03/12/young-married-men-almost-totally-extinct-in-england-and-wales/ Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000 Daily Mail

article-2576110-1AD5EFE100000578-692_634x437
Only one in a hundred young men under the age of twenty five are now married in the nightmare dystopia of the Juden republic of England and Wales.

Young married men have almost disappeared in England and Wales, figures revealed yesterday.

There are now fewer than 58,000 married men under 25, official figures show.

The proportion of men who marry young has collapsed to 1.7 per cent, marking a profound change in family life since  the 1950s.

About 135,000 young women marry annually, figures from the 2011 census, just released by the Office for National Statistics, reveal.

Most of them have found men who have reached their late twenties or older.

article-2576110-1C1DC62200000578-96_306x429
Figures from the Census.

In the 1950s, three-quarters of women and half of all men were married by their mid-twenties.

These days one in three men in their twenties is still with their parents and the average age at which a young person leaves their childhood home is 26.

However, cohabiting couples break up at least three times more quickly than married couples.

‘In the 70s and 80s it became more acceptable to move in together rather than marry,’ warned Harry Benson of the  Marriage Foundation.

‘The difficulty is that with more delay in marriage we are seeing a large increase in the rate of family break-up.

New Study Shows Young Brits Feel They Have Nothing to Live for https://www.anglinarchive.com/2014/01/03/new-study-shows-young-brits-feel-they-have-nothing-to-live-for/ Fri, 03 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000 BBC

This study makes no distinction between men and women, even though both genders require different things in order to feel fulfilled.

As many as three quarters of a million young people in the UK may feel that they have nothing to live for, a study for the Prince’s Trust charity claims.

The trust says almost a third of long-term unemployed young people have contemplated taking their own lives.

Urgent action must be taken to prevent the young jobless becoming the young hopeless, it says.

The government commented that it was doing “everything possible” to help young people find work.

Last month, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed the UK unemployment rate had fallen to its lowest level since 2009, with the number of people out of work falling by 99,000 to 2.39 million in the three months to October.

‘Devastating’

The Prince’s Trust Macquarie Youth Index was based on interviews with 2,161 16 to 25-year-olds. Of these, 281 were classified as Neet (not in employment, education or training) and 166 of these Neets had been unemployed for over six months.

The report found 9% of all respondents agreed with the statement: “I have nothing to live for” and said if 9% of all youngsters felt the same, it would equate to some 751,230 young people feeling they had nothing to live for.

Among those respondents classified as Neet, the percentage of those agreeing with the statement rose to 21%.

banksy-youth-unemployment
The DWP say “By offering employers wage incentives worth up to £2,275 we are helping businesses to take them on.” Yet at the same time, they are also offering £4,000 to employers to take foreign workers on.

The research found that long-term unemployed young people were more than twice as likely as their peers to have been prescribed anti-depressants.

One in three (32%) had contemplated suicide, while one in four (24%) had self-harmed.

The report found 40% of jobless young people had faced symptoms of mental illness, including suicidal thoughts, feelings of self-loathing and panic attacks, as a direct result of unemployment.

Three quarters of long-term unemployed young people (72%) did not have someone to confide in, the study found.

Martina Milburn, chief executive of the Prince’s Trust, said: “Unemployment is proven to cause devastating, long-lasting mental health problems among young people.

“Thousands wake up every day believing that life isn’t worth living, after struggling for years in the dole queue.
