    The hit in the 11-14 demographic is rather concerning. It’s before the big wave of gaokao prep really hits (and thus precedes the job search stress), so it’s a really concerning demographic without a clear root cause.

      I think you hit the nail right on the head, the unrelenting academic stress

          Kids talk. Stressed kids push their stress to whomever. It is tragic, but doesn’t seem shocking that the impact would be earlier. (I have zero insight into China.)

            Yeah, but that’s the entire reason China splits off high school into age 15-18.
