mr. markey: mr. president. mr. president, i rise today in defense of the mental health of children and teenagers in the united states of america. our young people today are facing a devastating mental health crisis. i have said these statistics on the floor before, but they bear repeating because they come from the centers for disease control. in our country, one in three high school girls in the united states seriously considered suicide in 2021, and at least one in ten high school girls attempted suicide that year. among lgbt youth the number is more like one in five attempted suicides. that is staggering and it is unacceptable that big tech has knowingly contributed to these disturbing numbers. and let's just move on. take it from the u.s. surgeon general who just a few weeks ago referred to the young mental health crisis as a, quote, emergency and identified social media as a, quote, important contributor to that crisis. over the next week the united states senate has a chance finally to do something about it,
