Nope fake, Guns aren't real. The government would never support this. Why would we need something like this? All of our defense spending has been allocated to TikTok videos and green houses, we can't afford these.

Edit: Meanwhile in Israel real value here only around $800 a missile!

Wow, Thanks for sharing. I couldn't wrap my head around if it was actually real or not because of the lightning looking a little "off." The SOUND! Holy crap it has to be ungodly loud with not one, but FOUR of those damn things just feet from your face.

Might be to do with the poor parts of NZ kids not being raised well, loads of split up parents. Though I don't know how that is any different to any other place.

Getting mental health help can be difficult, for example when I was struggling during polytech I tried to get help and they said, I'm sorry that you're struggling right now the next appointment is in 3 months, how's that?

Self harm seems really rampant and popular especially in highschool. Back then I was naive and had no idea about anything, my ex partner sort of talked about self harm as if it was this secret thing that they try and everyone's done it etc. Being depressed almost feels like it's been popularized. (Not saying it's not real but I almost feel like it would make someone more likely to show symptoms if they were predisposed)

Also out of all my partners 80% have been on antidepressants.

But overall I don't know why it's so common, but hopefully once I've finished my studies I'll be able to help

Not sure really.

New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate in the OECD, so obviously something is happening.

If I had to guess, it would be because it can feel somewhat isolating there. Sometimes small problems can compound when there isn’t really an ability to escape. Kiwis are generally (and literally) pretty insular. The world can feel small there, particularly for those experiencing poverty.
