My randiness as a teen and sexual frustration for a decade (in which not a single soul cared about my suffering and thought I should bite the bullet and learn trigonometry) figures significantly into the severity of my lifelong suicidality and major depresson throughout my adult life.

I figured I'd be grateful if at least future generations didn't have to deal with the neglect I did, but instead the federal government pushed abstinence-only sex-ed and the alt-right, manosphere and incel movement followed. And Trump took the presidency, managing to be more horrifying than George W. Bush and his wars and torture programs.

So maybe we should have paid more attention to our lonely, super-horny kids rather than treating them like they're diseased and disgusting, and they won't turn into the warboys forming the lines of the transnational white power movement.
