I also wondered how much each overlap. Also, for the high rates
of anxiety and depression, maybe that's because they're the most
universal issues and don't necessarily have to be caused by
where you live or who you grow up around.

I completely agree with you about where the data is collected
affecting the survey. I think it was a random selection, but
even then sometimes people can't respond for a number of
reasons. Maybe they can't afford postage, maybe they don't have
a phone. I would love to see isolated versions of this survey to
see how it varies among different places.

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that the number of people who categorized teen
pregnancy and gangs as major issues is about the same. I also
notice that most, if not all, of these issues are somehow
connected.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what the demographic is of these teenagers and I'm
curious about what they think about other issues.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
How do teenagers prioritize the importance of issues among their
peers?

Mia, I agree with you and I'd also like to see whether people
are directly interacting with these issues, because that would
definitely make an impact on what they focus on.

Claire, I appreciate you bringing overlap up. I think it would
definitely add some complexity to the chart.

I notice that most teens believe that there is a problem related
to the categories portrayed on the graph whether it is major or
minor. For example, for all of the problems portrayed, at least
70% of teens believe there is a problem. Gangs has the highest
percentage of teens that believe there is no problem but it is
still only 29%.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I am wondering where the students that took this survey are from
and how widespread it is. For example, there are some problems
such as gangs and poverty that are not as relevant in Brookline
as they are in other neighborhoods.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
What do teens feel are the major problems their peers deal with?

One of the major things that I noticed about these percentages
was that some of the issues can overlap, and might even be
caused by one another.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what outside factors may be weighing on these results.
These factors may include social class, the general area where
these people live, possibly race, and others.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
By quite a large amount, Depression and Anxiety are seen the
most as a major issue, which would lead me to believe that a lot
of people who were polled on this are personally struggling with
these issues, or are close to someone that is.
Headline: Anxiety and Depression among teens skyrockets as a
major issue in today's world.

Nina, I was also very curious about where the teens who took
this survey go to school and live. This would be very important
to know because different places have different problems.

Jessie, I agree with the claims and inferences you made. There
are definitely causes and effects to the high rate of anxiety
and depression that presents itself in teens. Another thing that
is important, is the fact that this was data taken from only a
certain amount of teens, all with different experiences and
lives.

Mia, I think you bring up a good point when you talk about how
some of these teens may be experiencing anxiety and depression
themselves, and that is why they are able to classify it as a
major issue, I think because of it possibly being a more common
problem. Compared to something like gang violence, which might
be less common.
