Suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death in the United States
Every year, nearly 45,000 Americans die of suicide. While middle-aged white men make up the vast majority of suicides with 7 out of 10 deaths, a large portion of these deaths is attributed to Generation Z, the population demographic born between 1995 and now.
Not to forget a very important issue in the world, suicide awareness. If you have been triggered in any way by what… https://t.co/vW4gfaym1v— Joey Graceffa (@Joey Graceffa)1514921341.0
Psychologically... they are more vulnerable than Millennials were: Rates of teen depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. It’s not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis in decades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their phones... There is compelling evidence that the devices we’ve placed in young people’s hands are having profound effects on their lives—and making them seriously unhappy.

Others also had more things to say.Dear @LoganPaul,
How dare you! You disgust me. I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell. Ap — Aaron Paul (@aaronpaul_8) January 2, 2018

I always hated Logan Paul. Logan Paul is pure garbage. How that piece of shit has any fans disturbs and baffles me. Can this guy just go away already and be forgotten forever?

can people stop playing on the fact that « error is human » about the whole Paul Logan thing ?
Yeah error is human, so maybe his mistake was to film during his discovery but EDITING the video, PUTTING IT ONLINE, and EVERYTHING ELSE are not errors. pic.twitter.com/zHJdyFxo86 — coralie♡hyunbin (@OFFlClAL_JBJ) January 2, 2018
Laughing during terrible events is not uncommon, it’s an odd coping mechanism. It’s more like you’re in total disbelief. However laughing while filming yourself and a victim who was suffering and now deceased AND POSTING IT, boy that is fucked up Paul Logan. Get help

@LoganPaul You’re an idiot. You’re not raising awareness. You’re mocking. I can’t believe how self-praising your “apology" is. You don’t deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did.

Logan Paul doesn’t understand that 1 person ends their life every 40 seconds and that suicide is NEVER a joke

logan paul should’ve stopped filming the body when he realized it was a suicide, but instead he kept zooming in on the body and used it as clickbait, i’m so sick. suicide is a serious issue and trying to use it for views is disturbing and disgusting.

Hey Logan Paul, You want to be the first social media billionaire? By exploiting the death of a troubled youth? Take a long hard look at what you are doing with your popularity young man. Find a mentor and perhaps log off for a moment. @LoganPaul #beahumanfirst

Movie reviewers get their videos demonetized for no reason.
Logan Paul films the hanged body of a suicide victim and his channel is fine.@YouTube... are you for real? — Chris Stuckmann (@Chris_Stuckmann) January 2, 2018
Dear Internet, https://t.co/42OCDBhiWg— Logan Paul (@Logan Paul)1514862056.0
Of course, people weren't enthused by this either.I didn't do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity...I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought, 'if this video saves just ONE life, it'll be worth it,' I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video.
Logan Paul's apology letter amounts to: - I didn't do it for success I'm successful already - I laughed at that dead body and zoomed in to raise awareness - I make too many videos to think about what I upload
He's not sorry about his insensitivity. He's sorry he got called out. — sophie :) (@dolansfcb) January 2, 2018
Ooookay, I just found out about Logan Paul and he's a fucking bastard. If he thinks that suicide is funny, than why doesn't he try it? And he really thinks that piece of garbage apology letter will get him out of the trouble, he can't be further from the truth. Screw you, Logan.
— Space rabbit (@TthAgnes8) January 2, 2018
I’ve been trying to comprehend this whole Logan Paul thing and I just...I’m so infuriated and disgusted. Even his apology letter isn’t an apology for the video. I actually feel like I’m gonna throw up. Suicide is not a joke and Aokigahara is hallowed ground how dare you.
— Pennimas ?⛄️❄️ (@PenPhiVA) January 2, 2018
After hearing what Logan Paul did, I'm fucking disgusted. Suicide isn't a fucking joke. I have lost 3 people to suicide and here he is just casually filming a hung dead body. And people are fucking defending him? He shouldn't have to release an apology letter in the first place -

Honestly, hearing about the Logan Paul fiasco was horrendous. Reading his apology letter to the public was worse.
The government officials in Japan do not permit you to record or take pictures in the Suicide Forest. Also, how much of a prick do you have to be to»» — Damian? (@DearHeavxn) January 2, 2018
take away that man's peace of mind after life? I don't think my soul could feel at a better ease if someone was recording me moments after death. Also that is technically humiliating the man who committed suicide, recording his body the way Logan did. I get he tried to»»

Logan Paul,
Fuck you. Fuck #logang4life. And fuck your apology letter. You’re a pathetic abhorrent human. Hey, it won’t happen again though. You don’t have “great power" you have a YouTube show. Get over yourself. Sincerely, The sister of a suicide victim...who hung himself https://t.co/V3tk8pjGtF — Caylee (@_Cay_B) January 2, 2018
