Making Sense of the Data Week 1
By: BHSMATH Date: March 20, 2020, 1:42 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[move][/move]Hi all,
Please post your responses to the following questions:
1. What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
2. What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes
from what you notice in the graph?
3. What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
Post your response here. Start your responses with “I notice,”
then “I wonder,” and end with a catchy headline.
Don’t worry if someone else has said something similar in the
discussion thread. We’re sure lots of people will have really
great ideas. Not every idea will be unique. Whatever you say,
try to put your thoughts into your own words. :)
(We’ll share some of the best headlines next week.)

I noticed that Poverty seems to be treated overwhelmingly as a
minor problem rather than a major one. I wonder how these
results have changed over time. I wonder if these results differ
across the United States.

Just by studying the graph I know that anxiety/depression is the
most major problem teens in this survey face. I think this makes
a lot of sense based on the other data in the infograph. If
someone is being bullied then they’re probably going to be
nervous, upset, scared, and confused. That could be categorized
as anxiety and/or depression. Same with drug addiction, which
can often make one irritable, tired, etc. With teen pregnancy
comes lots of anxieties, considering many young people would
find it hard to afford a child, not to mention the
emotionally-draining decision to keep the baby or not. There is
also postpartum depression which affects around 50% of mothers
after giving birth (according to the Cleveland Clinic). All of
the problems following the anxiety/depression data set are
events that could easily lead to it - logically making it the
highest-ranked issue.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder where and with whom this survey was conducted. In a
place like Brookline High School teen pregnancy, gangs, and
poverty are less common issues than shown in the data (in my
experience). Depending on where you take data from, this graph
could look completely different - which is why you should always
consider the background of data before taking it as gospel.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.

I notice that a lot of these issues have high percentages of
students that categorize them as major problems. Even if the
majority of people rule that it’s a minor problem, there is
never more than 30% of people who say there is no problem at
all.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what the data breakdown looks like. Is it all kids from
one school? What part of the country? How many people? Is it
biased/if so, how much?

American Teens Aware of Mental Health Crisis
I noticed that mental health issues, "anxiety and depression" on
the graph, and things they may contribute to mental health
issues such as drug abuse, alcohol, bullying, and poverty rated
relatively highly on the graph. This means that American youth
is aware of our issues, and specifically what contributes to
them. What I wonder is why aren't we fixing them? Why do we
allow a culture of peer pressure and bullying to continue when
we know whats happening?

I notice that many of the teens in this survey are being
affected by issues such as anxiety, bullying, drug addiction and
gangs. Anxiety & Depression are the highest, with 70% of teens
considering it a major problem among their peers. Bullying and
drug addiction are also high, with over 50% considering these
topics a major problem. Other problems include drug addiction,
alcohol, poverty, teen pregnancies, and gangs. Although in this
survey gangs have the least amount of teens considering it a
major problem, only 29% don't consider it a problem, showing it
is a major issue.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder how many of these problems overlap each other. For
example, is depression and anxiety a result of drug addiction,
bullying, poverty? Is that why it is at the top? Because g the
other issues teens are experiencing are leading into depression?
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
A unacceptable amount of teens are experiencing issues among
their peers with problems including anxiety, bullying, drug
addiction and gangs.

I agree with what you said about the importance of where the
data is being taken place. Depending on where the responses are
collected answers could really vary. Regardless however, it is
clear that a lot of work has to be done to help teens avoid
these issues. Yes, this stuff will happen but these numbers are
far to high. I also agree with how you connected many of the
other issues into causing depression/anxiety.

I am also wondering about where the data was taken as various
places have totally different situations which would likely lead
to all different results.
