Is teen mental health becoming a crisis

Teen metnal health i feel like has always been apart of life and nowadays it has gotten alot wors ebecause of everything going on around us making us feel stressed or just stuff going on in familys. Teen mental health is affected by alot of things if you let it get to you. School is a great topic for this. Alot of kids might not like going to school and so they might not try as much and by doing that it can make them fail classes and they will then have alot of work to make up and some kids might get really stessed and dont know how to deal with it and get into like a very bad mood because they might not eb able to catch up again. Also social media is a big problem for teens becasue anything can be put on the internet, so if someone like started dating somone else crush, and by doing that it could mess them up mentally and make them do stuff that might not be good for them or harmful to themselves. Alot more could be posted on social media and people could post stuff that might make people stressed or just not feel good about them selves and they will do stuff and in the future they might regret it. Mental health is just alot worse now then it was back then and i think most of it was because of soical media and what people will post. There are definitly alot more factors into teens mental helath but i think the big one is social media and school.

  • I definitely thnk that highschool can be one of the worst times for a teenager especially mentally. I think the biggest reason could be stress because students can be asked to do so much stuff. There are many people that will escape it with drugs, being lazy, but some are good like focusing on something or finding a hobby.

  • I think that school could be one of the main reasons why teens struggle with mental health. There is a let of stress being put on students with homework everyday, and tests every single week. I think that some people try to use drugs as a way of escaping it.

  • I think that the main reason for teens mental health declining is probably school. School is stressful in so many different ways. I also think it could be from family as well. I think the main way kids try to escape mental health is usually drugs. I think that drug use is mostly to cover up the fact that you have bad mental health. 

  • I think teenagers mental health is definetely an important thing and a lot of people don't expect that some people are in a state of depression.  Even though it is very hard to tell if some teens are in a state of depression it is still good to ask how they are sometimes.

  • I believe that teens mental health is very important and this that a teens feelings and how their mental health is can play a big part on how they behave and/or act towards not just themselves, but also towards their familiy and friends too. 

  • I feel that mental health is very strong in teens and it is something people do not notice very easy. It is also hard to tell if a teen has mental health problems because they put on a fake smile and pretend they are fine.

  • I think school and relationships with friends are probably mostly the cause of teens bad mental health. School stresses a lot of children out and its not good because school is not as easy for some kids. Although teens do have a lot of help when it comes to stress and health. Also on top of that students have other activities to do after school like work or sports.  

  • I think school or bad friendships is probably the main reasons for teen mental health. I feel like the stress of school and just bad friendships that people put themselves in is what is causing teen mental health. I feel like teens do a lot of different things to help with mental health. Some are good, some are bad.

  • I think that teens mental health has to do with parenting and how they looking at things. I think people worrie to much about what others think and what they can't controll. Kids these days are taught when stuff is hard to give up and thats not right. If someone hurts your feelings that stinks get over it. 90% of the world dose not care about your problems 5% are glad you have them.

  • I think that mental health issues start to occur because of school and social media. School puts a lot of pressure on teens because of tests and homework, I don't really think there is a great way to escape their mental health issues most teens end by suicide or by doing drugs thinking that will end it, I think adults should do a better job at addressing it and try to help them get through it.
