Young people today are richer, safer, healthier, but less happy. Why and solution?

It has been universally accepted that the

problem

of teenagers nowadays is becoming wealthier,

safer

, and healthier than in the past;

however

, the number of unhappy teenagers is soaring at an alarming rate. The

problem

is bringing a state of depression among the masses and in the economy too. There are a plethora of reasons for the same, and possible solutions can be suggested too, which are discussed in the following paragraphs, after which I will lead to a logical conclusion. In regards to the

problem

, the major reasons that can be stated are that underage

people

in

this

decade live under pressure from their families, who expect their children to achieve more academically than ever before.

Due to

this

reason, young

might be smarter, put their knowledge to work, and get richer.

depression. Another factor to take into account is social

media

and the Internet. With the development of technology nowadays, underage

people

can easily access the Internet to learn or even make friends on social

media

platforms, which can make them happier because they can stay home.

Nonetheless

, social

media

can create a false sense of connection and belonging, and it can

also

be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and unrealistic expectations. In support of

this

reason, a known fact is that in Gen Z, the generation in

this

century, 80% of them are introverts and have lots of problems with mental health,

according to

The Guardian. Looking at the

problem

from a positive perspective, many solutions can be helpful to curb

this

menace. One of the solutions is that schools and parents need to focus on developing the students’ well-being, not just their academic achievement, and

this

includes teaching students coping skills and especially stress management.

For example

, parents can spend time with them or talk with them about the troubles they get into.

This

can help youngsters connect with family and friends, which is one of the best ways to help them get a second wind.

Secondly

, social

media

platforms and internet providers need to do more to protect young

people

from cyberbullying and other online harm. To cite an example, young

people

need to get involved in their communities,

such

as school or the place where they live.

Moreover

, volunteering, helping, and encouraging others is a great way to find meaning and purpose in life.

Last

but not least, taking care of their physical and mental health, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep are all important for happiness. In a nutshell, solving a global issue is not easy, but

nonetheless

, with the joint efforts of the

people

, control can be taken over the

problem

with the aforementioned suggested measures. I
