MISSING SEGMENT

Additionally, Youtube DEMONETIZED and RESTRICTED AGES on this video because of a portion about teen suicide in the 90s, so I decided to cut it so that this video isn't destroyed in the algorithm. Here is the text for that segment.

 Between 1992 and 1999, there were 253 violent deaths in school, including suicides. The frequency and causes of suicide became of greater national importance in the late 80s and beyond, though the amount of teens ending their lives peaked in 1994, the year of Kurt Cobain death. At the time, suicide was the third leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 24. The coverage of Cobain’s decision to end his life made some observers fear that suicide would be glamorized for impressionable youth. Instead, the event increased suicide awareness and discourse, with hotlines being set up for vulnerable teens and young adults to grieve. However, a troubling new reality emerged in the middle of the decade: suicide rose among black youth. Between 1980 and 1995, there were a total 3,030 black youth between the ages of ten and nineteen who ended their lives, 66% using firearms. As of 1995, suicide was the third leading cause of death of black people between 15 and 19, with the causes being linked to depression, lack of opportunity, homophobia, and bullying.
