Why Teens Are More Stressed Than Ever

Teen stress is at an all-time high, and it’s not just about phones or social media. According to a new book by NYT reporter Matt Richtel, today’s teens are hit with info overload, earlier puberty, and a world that’s changing faster than ever. The result? More anxiety, sadness, and mental health struggles—even in loving homes. Parents, don’t take it personally when your teen zones out. Sometimes, their brains are just overloaded! #Health #MentalHealth #TeenMentalHealth

They are stressed because they aren’t allowed to have a childhood. They’re subjected to too much of the world too soon. The under-developed brain can’t handle that overload. What a shame parents and schools won’t pull back and give their children the chance to be children.

Their brains are burnt out by video games and social media. The constant mental overstimulation results in the "Gen Z stare." The solution is obvious.

because of social media no teens should be allowed on social media until they're old enough to understand what it does to them

because they are lazy. Even the slightest stress feels overwhelming. Parents don't teach coping skills and reward them with instant gratification.

Helicopter parents manipulating everything so precious baby encounters no obstacles or disappointments. Then someone says NO or expects accountability and they melt down.
