And that's because it depends on what kids you're speaking with.
And there is actually a counter narrative to all of this.
And we'll get into that.
But first, let's dig into what some of the scientists who are ringing the alarm bells are actually saying.
So you were right to point out teenagers.
They are the group being studied the most.
Multiple studies find that higher screen time does correlate with mental health issues, especially anxiety and depression.
Heavy screen time also correlates with less emotional regulation and less cognitive flexibility.
And study after study shows that
that no group is being hit harder than teenage girls.
Absolutely.
One of the leading researchers on this is David Blanchflower, and he's been flashing the warning lights in a big way.
He has noticed that this very stable happiness index we've been talking about, it started to go awry around 2014.
Yes.
Teens used to be among the happiest age group, like we said.
In recent years, Blanche Flowers noticed that roughly 1 in 10 teenage girls and a smaller but still significant number of boys report severe mental distress, describing their mental health as poor almost every day.
It's a complex issue.
But the fact of the matter is, this is not just a U.S.
phenomenon.
This is cross-national research that shows similar patterns emerging among young people around the entire world.
