Summary
A UN-commissioned study finds that youth happiness has declined sharply over the past decade in English-speaking countries.
Traditionally, happiness followed a U-shape, with youth being a peak period, but it now increases with age instead.
Researchers link this shift to social media, cyberbullying, and reduced social interaction.
The mental health crisis may have significant consequences that affect education, workforce participation, and productivity. The UN is investigating whether this trend is a global phenomenon.
Yeah I definitely get that, that sounds like a good friend. I’ve had others giving me positive and validating feedback (especially lately) that is really helpful in letting me know I’m on the right path and that what I’m trying to do in being there for others is working and being received and appreciated which is something I’m very grateful for. I don’t think thats presumptuous, we all have unique experiences that we perceive in different ways, and learn different things from, and that allows us each to have our own perspective that make new things possible. It sounds like you’re going great, keep it up :)
