Statistics from the CDC show that suicide is the first leading cause of death for Asian American young adults 15 to 24.

疾病預防控制中心的統計數據顯示，自殺是 15 至 24 歲亞裔美國年輕人的第一大死因。

It accounts for one-third of all deaths in this age group.

在這個年齡組的所有死亡病例中，有三分之一是死於這種疾病。

And also, serious mental illness and suicidal behavior has doubled for them in the last decade.

此外，在過去十年中，他們患嚴重精神疾病和自殺行為的人數增加了一倍。

但我們不能讓這種情況繼續下去。

We gotta get the sweet little baby angels into therapy.

我們得讓可愛的小天使們接受治療。

Asian Americans are the least likely racial group to seek and utilize mental health services, 60% less than white people.

亞裔美國人是最不可能尋求和利用心理健康服務的種族群體，比白人少 60%。

讓我猜猜，這是我們父母的錯。

There were several studies that looked into why young AAPI have the highest rate of suicide, and all studies say parenting.

有幾項研究調查了亞裔美國人年輕人自殺率最高的原因，所有研究都認為是父母的教育問題。

我不想要世代相傳的創傷，爸爸。

Uh, well actually, according to some research, Asian immigrants have lower rates of psychiatric disorders than American-born Asians.

呃，實際上，根據一些研究，亞洲移民的精神病發病率低於在美國出生的亞洲人。

You're telling me that our parents are mentally healthier than we are?

你是說我們的父母比我們的心理更健康？

Trust me, I was really thrown by that study's findings.

相信我，我真的被這項研究的結果嚇了一跳。

I mean, they're traumatized, like for sure, but just not clinically ill, I guess.

我的意思是，他們受到了創傷，這是肯定的，但我想，他們並沒有得臨床疾病。

My dad doesn't have a psychiatric disorder?

You're telling me he's not clinically insane?

I don't know how I'm gonna move past this, but I'm gonna try.

我不知道該如何釋懷，但我會努力。

So, like, why is suicide the leading cause of death for young Asians, but not for any other racial group?

那麼，為什麼自殺是亞洲年輕人的主要死因，而不是其他種族群體呢？

I mean, like, no- Okay, so there were a lot of factors, but like, Indiana University psychology scholars discovered that school problems are twice likely to be a contributing factor compared to young white people.

我的意思是，不--好吧，有很多因素，但印第安納大學心理學學者發現，與年輕白人相比，學校問題是誘因的兩倍。

Okay, again, I'm finding myself blaming my father.

好吧，我又開始責怪我的父親了。

Then there's all the pressure that comes from the expectation of success, you know, like the model minority myth.

還有所有的壓力都來自於對成功的期望，你知道，就像模範少數族裔的神話一樣。

So you're not allowed to fail, but when you succeed, nobody thinks you're worthy of celebration.

所以你不允許失敗，但當你成功時，沒人認為你值得慶祝。

Fair minimum as an Asian is being the best.

作為亞洲人，最起碼的公平就是做到最好。

Culturally, mental illnesses are dismissed or seen as not real, so seeking any kind of help is just seen as like a character flaw.

在文化上，精神疾病被認為是不真實的，是以尋求任何幫助都會被認為是一種性格缺陷。

Okay, besties, so what I'm hearing is the best thing that we can do for the community is to raise awareness, work on destigmatization, trick young baby Asians into consuming mental health resources- Like with comedic YouTube videos.

好了，閨蜜們，我聽說我們能為社區做的最好的事情就是提高意識，努力消除汙名，誘導年輕的亞洲寶寶消費心理健康資源--比如用喜劇YouTube視頻。

喜劇是一種誇張，但也正是如此。

Yeah, I mean, that's really all we can do, right?

是啊，我是說，我們能做的也就這麼多了，對吧？

That's our plan to, like, help the youth.

這就是我們幫助年輕人的計劃。

We can raise awareness, we can offer resources, we can blame our parents- Backed by science.

我們可以提高認識，我們可以提供資源，我們可以責怪我們的父母--以科學為後盾。

I hope you know, if you're a young baby Asian, it's not your fault.

我希望你知道，如果你是一個年輕的亞洲寶寶，這不是你的錯。

Yeah, several, several studies have said you're not the problem, it's your parents.

是啊，好幾項研究都說問題不在你，而在你的父母。

所以你要知道，他們都是瘋子。

They don't have psychiatric disorders, but guess who does?

他們沒有精神病，但你猜誰有呢？

你覺得我為什麼會有這些東西？
