Reply to comment by P_ZERO_ in Nearly 1 in 10 young people experience physical pain and suicidality by thebelsnickle1991

> The thread is about 1 in 10 people, if he was the 1, would it not make sense another 9 said otherwise?

Only if we're talking about an even distribution. I don't think we know that.

And I don’t think someone sharing anecdotes that match the context is suddenly nullified by someone else’s anecdote.

I have no idea if 1/10 is true, I’d bet it’s a lot higher than that depending on location and social status. I don’t think it’s remotely far to believe less affluent areas and limited access to health care would see numbers greater than 1/10.
