Yes the article mentioned boys a few times but doesn't go into any depth. And its not so much this article its really the overall quantity of these types of articles that focus on female over male. Of course an article can focus on one or the other and that is fine but I find it just tends to be lopsided towards females.

In recent years it’s felt like there are always more stories about mental health in males. Job market, etc. Not sure how you’re missing them?

I can't find major newspaper articles specifically focused on suicide among teenage boys, even though the rate of it is 400% higher than for teenage girls, and getting worse faster.

Has it always been ~400% higher? That aspect might get lost if the rate is notably high for all youths?

Here's one about male problems I remember reading and could quickly find because the title was memorable: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/08/andrew-ya...

And another with the same title: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/opinion/boys-violence-sho...

Yes, males have done about 80% of the teen suicides since basically always.

I can remember a handful of articles about boys struggling over the years but like your Yang example they have been on the opinion page and tainted with the whiff of "men's rights" grievances.

Doesn’t seem like this is a girls only article - it covers adolescent mental health issues sourced from survey data

What specific points seem lopsided here?
