Alex P, I like when you pointed out that "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 you said perfectly illustrates that although the
data set shows gangs to be the least of teens' worries, it
really is showing them to be the least compared. to the other
problems in question. When skimming over this graph it would
look like a small issue in the grand scheme of adolescence, but
to properly read any dataset you've got to look closer to see
the bigger picture. Meaning that gangs are still a major issue,
with 71% of people questioned being concerned about them.

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
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 love that you pointed out that these problems could be the
result of each other. Maybe a follow up question could be
researched: "What factors lead to teens becoming depressed?".

Nina, I agree with your questions about the biases present in
this survey. It's always important to know the background info
of a graph, and I loved the word 'data breakdown' that you used.
I, too, would love to know the school, state, gender, etc. of
the kids being interviewed. Every piece of their identity could
make a difference in how they respond. I also found it
interesting to know that people were interviewed by phone,
email, and in-person interviews. I wonder if that made a
difference in how people answered certain questions. I know that
for me, it would be easier to answer these personal questions in
writing, so my answer may have been more reserved had I been
interviewed in real life. I wonder if the data collectors found
a difference!

Nina, I also noticed that most people categorized these as major
problems, and never more than 30% of people say it is no
problem, but I wonder what is different about the lives of that
30 % of people that makes them consider it not a problem at all?

One thing I noticed was that a lot of these problems correlate
with each other, and being able to get help to work on solving
one of these issues could help someone ultimately resolve more
of the others.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder how these percentages vary between different racial and
ethnic groups and different cities with varying socioeconomic
statuses.

Anxiety and Depression surpassing others as the top problem for
teen mental health.

I completely agree with you Jessie, I think it is really
important to look at where this data was taken because that is
definitely a major influence of these results, and one can look
at this graph to know more about the living conditions of the
location.

something that I noticed was that in the slightest way, all of
these issues could connect somehow depending on situations. The
more that I thought about it I started realizing that more and
it is really interesting to me. I also noticed that the highest
percentage belongs to anxiety and depression and that also
really interests me because it seems like people are seeing more
and more evidence of people who are struggling with these
disorders.
what do you wonder? what are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
something that I wonder, is where people have seen these issues
and if any of them are actually dealing with the issues
themselves
whats going on in this graph? write a catchy headline that
captures the graph's main idea.
the varying percentages of extreme issues that are troublesome
to teens

Alex, I was also wondering more about if these issues have any
connections or overstep each other. I feel like they definitely
could. they could connect in many different ways and I think
that in a slight noticeable way, the data is trying to show.

jessie, I completely agree with when you say that the
highest-ranked issue is anxiety and depression because of the
fact that the other issues can result in anxiety and depression.
I thought it was interesting when you connect each issue
resulting back to the disorders

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you

I noticed that anxiety and depression have the highest major
rates, and gangs have the lowest. Even though gangs have the
lowest major rates, they have pretty significant minor rates,
and have higher minor rates than anxiety, bullying, and drug
addiction.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what the overlap is like for these. For example, for
kids who are pregnant, how major is bullying? I also wonder
where this data was collected, and how it would differ across
the world. I also wonder why the anxiety and depression rates
are so high, and what part school takes in that.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
What do teenagers struggle with the most today?
