These are all great points.

I think glorification occurs because it’sa much easier way to, at least temporarily, alleviate the struggle some issues can cause. It’s an understandable response to pain, especially in young people confronted with complex internal problems.

Also your point about children not being able to judge these things for themselves immediately made me think... It seems a lot adults can’t be relied on to do it either.

Totally agree on your final point! Though that's a discussion for another time...

The glorification can provide short term relief but creates countless more issues than it solves.
