Description

The Best Paragraph I've Read: "Forty years ago, the most anxious kids in America were those in low-income households. Beginning in the late 1990s, that flipped, according to the researcher Suniya Luthar. In a series of studies, she found that rich teens in high-achieving schools were the most anxious and depressed. One possibility she explored was that the most rigorous schools created an environment where kids worried too much about how they measured up to their peers in grades, activities, and college admissions." This paragraph comes from The Atlantic. The article is titled: "We're Missing A Key Driver of Teen Anxiety." The author is Derek Thompson. You can read the full article here: We’re Missing a Key Driver of Teen Anxiety - The Atlantic Zac and Don discuss the connection between parent pressure and teen anxiety. They wonder if this pressure has always been there. They also wonder if this is just an issue for the wealthy in society. They also wonder if there are any solutions to this issue. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bestparagraph/message
