Re: Making Sense of the Data Week 1

I notice that a majority of teens notice depression, bullying,
and drug addiction as major problems among their peers with
depression in particular being quite alarming at almost 70% for
a major problem among their peers and 26% seeing it as a minor
problem for their peers. In short almost all teens will
experience some form of anxiety or depression either major or
minor. I also wonder if this was a national survey or if it was
limited to a certain region or city. I also wonder if socio
economic factors play into how different people respond to the
survey. A possible title of this graph could be "Concerning
number of teens are in a physically or mentally struggling"

Those are good questions, indeed in would be interesting to see
how many of these overlap

Jacob, I was also wondering in which neighborhoods this survey
was done in.

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
Clearly, I notice from this infographic that Anxiety and
Depression are the two most serious and wide-spread issues
facing teens. This is because the majority of teens (70%)
believe it plays a major role in their lives, and only 4%
believe it doesn’t impact their lives at all.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder how long surveys and statistics have supported this
claim that anxiety and depression severely affect most teens. I
know in movies and pop culture the whole issue of mental health
is less taboo, but I want to know if time and research
correlates to that.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.

Claire, I'm really interested in the point you brought up about
the overlap in the sample pool.
Edward, I saw the same thing about how near everyone had been
impacted by these mental health issues and wondered the same
things about how diverse and unbiased the sample pool was.

Immediately I noticed that depression and anxiety in teens has a
70th percentile of kids who are struggling with mental health.
This is huge!! That means that for every 10 kids, 7 of them are
struggling wether adults in their life are aware of this or not.
This definitely could range from state to state throughout the
US (considering I have no idea if this data is just coming from
one place or if it's being averaged state by state or even
globally).
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
What I am curious about is if the top three, (Mental health,
bullying and drug addiction) somehow are all connected to each
other. Does bullying and struggles with mental health lead to a
drug addiction? Or can a drug addiction cause signs of anxiety
or depression? What percent of teens self medicate with
substances to help them selfs? I'm very curious which ones
affect others the most.

Liv, I think you bring up a very important point when you said
that only 4% of teens are NOT effected by anxiety or depression
because that goes to show that more than majority of teens are
struggling with mental health which is very serious and can have
effects on our generation in many ways.

I notice that anxiety and depression are considered to be the
most prominent problems among teenagers, as 70% of teenagers
classify this as a major problem among their peers. I think that
whether somebody would consider any one of these issues to be a
“major” problem depends on where they live and their background.
Despite gangs having the lowest percentage at 33, some might
still consider it a very serious issue that is present in their
life. I notice that drug addiction and drinking alcohol fall in
the middle of the data, as they have percentages around 50.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I am curious as to where this data came from and if it is
reflective of a variety of people and backgrounds. I wonder if
race, gender, economic situation, origin, age, etc. play a
factor in this data. Would this data change if it was for a
different group of individuals? I also am interested in seeing
how the data would vary depending on the location in the world.

Anxiety and Depression Leading Problem in the Lives of Teens

Liv, I was wondering the same thing about how long surveys have
been able support this claim that anxiety and depression affect
the majority of teens. Is this more of a current issue or is it
something that has been present for a long time now? I wonder
what factors contribute to anxiety and depression and how this
varies among people of different backgrounds.
Camille, I think that it is very smart to point out that the top
three problems (mental health, bullying, and drug addiction)
could all be correlated in some way. It's almost like a ripple
affect because if someone is being bullied they could be
experiencing depression or anxiety which could lead them to
using drugs, and so on. It's interesting because all of these
factors are connected and can lead to one another.

I notice that The more major, the less not. For example, in
anxiety, there is 70% major, and 4% not. But In gangs, there is
33% major and 29% not. This also is the case with teen pregnancy
where there is 34% major and 21% not.
I wonder What is the sample size of the data?
This is what I call The teen’s perception of worldly problems.
