through an overwhelming wave
of violence and trauma, and
it’s affecting their mental health, Kathleen Ethier, Director of the CDC’s Division
of Adolescent and School Health, via NBC.
NBC reports that the results of the CDC's 2021 Youth Risk
Behavior Survey show that a wave of sexual violence and
trauma is impacting the mental health of young women.

five teen girls said that they felt "persistently
sad or hopeless," the highest rate in a decade.
The report also found that 30% of those surveyed
said they have considered suicide, a percentage
which has risen by almost 60% in the last ten years.

I am heartbroken.
As a public
health leader, I’m driven to act, Dr. Debra Houry, CDC’s chief medical officer, via NBC.
It was so striking to us,
the consistency with which girls
were faring more poorly than boys, Kathleen Ethier, Director of the CDC’s Division
of Adolescent and School Health, via NBC.
Julie Cerel, director of the Suicide Prevention & Exposure
Lab at the University of Kentucky, warns that
most schools are ill-equipped due to limited funding.

teachers who are underpaid and
not necessarily trained.

On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon general’s
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon general’s
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

According to the American Psychological Association,
teens spend around five hours a day on popular
platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. .
In his 'NYT' op-ed, Murthy called on all social media
platforms to "proactively enhance and contribute to
the mental health and well-being of our children.".
One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.
