What do you notice?
I notice that mental health is a major problem to 70% of
teenagers. It seems like a lot of the problems below it could be
connected to depression and anxiety.
What do you wonder?
I wonder where this data is coming from. What areas, social and
economic backgrounds do these teenagers have?
Write a catchy headline
What is a major problem to a teenager and what isn't?

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that issues that were ranked as more ‘Major’ generally
have direct repercussions for a larger portion of the
population.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what were the gender and race demographics of the
population from which the survey was taken.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
In this graph, teenagers provided their opinions on how serious
some problems are that impact them. A good name for this graph
would be Teen Issues: Major or Minor?

I agree that knowing the gender and race demographics would be
interesting.

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 that there could be connections between the probelms
these teens are experiencing. anxiety and Depression seems like
to could be caused any one of the problems below it.

I notice that students think that all of these issues are
problems among their peers. This is interesting, because many
schools don't try to help with these problems despite the fact
that their students need help.
I wonder where this data was taken. Major problems at a school
vary a lot depending on where you go, so it would be interesting
to find out where these students are. I also wonder if this data
would look similar if it was surveyed at BHS.
My headline is:
Schools in America are not doing enough

I also thought was interesting that poverty was had the most
"minor" responses, given that 40.6 million americans are below
the poverty line.

I agree about mental health. I might be the biggest problem
because it is so interconnected with the other issues.

I notice that gangs are classes as the least important out of
all these issues by students, and I wonder why more student put
alcohol as a smaller issue than drug abuse.
As a tittle, I'd put something short like "Problems as Seen by
Teenagers."

I agree, I didn't really realize that separating anxiety and
depression from those other issues is sort of a flawed system,
because they go hand-in-hand

Don't all of the other problem on the list contribute to mental
health, though? In my opinion, menatl health should not have
been lumped in with all the other struggles, because naturally
all of them will likely lead to depression and anxiety
