The general mental health of the nation’s youth seems to be in tatters, according to a government survey released yesterday.
The survey, with information taken mostly from the internet community My Space, finds most people between the age of 14-23 claiming to be “absolutely mad”, “totally bonkers” and “well barmy, me”. The fact that they suffix these admissions with the claim that they’re always “up for a laugh” shows that many are not taking these issues seriously enough. Many use multiple exclamation marks, which as we all know are the sign of a diseased mind.

@u_xxx said both he and all the people he spent his time with were “nuts” and when questioned further, turned up the My Chemical Romance song playing on his profile, before drowning in the inanity and vacuousness of his own life.
A spokesman said, “We’re not especially worried. It is possible that this is linked to the break out of dyslexia in some way. Many seem to have trouble writing their own name with out using about five emoticons. The tossers.”
