Pat.
Suicide for men is higher than women. White men are more likely to die by suicide.

Looks like a rate of 7-10.
Now you did say teens, but I said white males. Who is the most marginalized group? White men are. They are the ones that no one wants to listen to.
Even other white people don't think white men are important enough. If a non white cries racism over something, there is dialogue. If a white person cries racism, there is ridicule and mockery (just look at any Fred post).
If a female cries sexism, we listen. If a man cries sexism, we again mock and ridicule.
So as a society we have placed the white man as the least important to listen to.
