What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
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.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
Anxiety and Depression surpassing others as the top problem for
teen mental health.

Ale, I completely agree with you. I would like to know how this
affects different groups

I notice that many of these issues affect each other. For
example, each of the issues listed can make people more
susceptible to anxiety and depression, so it makes sense that
anxiety and depression have the highest major % because it is
much more widespread.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder if this data correlates to the number of people
affected by each issue. And if it does, where the people used
for this data an accurate representation of all teenagers given
that different communities are more or less likely to face each
issue.

What are the major issues in teens’ lives?

I notice that something most teenagers see as a major issue are
mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Only 4%
of teenagers believe mental health issues don’t impact their
lives at all. By looking at this data, I am guessing that this
is a more affluent neighborhood, because issues such as poverty,
teen pregnancy, and gangs are not seen by a majority as major
issues, and these issues are mostly seen in more troubled
neighborhoods. I wonder where this data was gathered and how
affluent the neighborhood this data was gathered in was. I am
curious about these 2 questions because this data would most
definitely vary from locations of varying socioeconomic status.

Aditi, I agree that issues such as poverty, teen pregnancy, and
gangs are not seen as frequently in affluent neighborhoods, and
think that if this data was taken in solely more troubled
neighborhoods, the data would show the major category as being
much higher.

Lidia, I am also wondering who the set of data was taken from.
the graph said teenagers but didn’t specify any further which
makes me think they are tring to collect data from teens all
around the world.

1) I noticed that anxiety and depression was the highest
percentage that teens see the most and I think of how common it
must be to experience anxiety and to have depressive episodes
during this age range due to the answers given.
2) I wonder what the age distribution of the teens interviewed
were. Was there a certain age group which tended to lean towards
certain answers versus other ages?
3) Prevalent problems in current day teens

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.

How do teenagers prioritize the importance of issues among their
peers?

It would be interesting to get the teens interviewed for other
issues and I wonder if bias would be more prevalent in those
issues or these problems asked, or mayhaps it would be the same

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.

Hm that is an interesting point of how many sectors could relate
to a teen and overlap with each other. I also now wonder how
formal the research was and how large the sample data they
collected was.

1. I noticed that poverty is the second largest problem if you
include minors and major and I was surprised to see so much teen
pregnancy.
2. I wonder why teen pregnancy was so high even though we have
been educated to wear protection while having intercourse.
3. The headline would be, "The average life of a teen" because
more than 50 percent of kids deal with these problems.

I noticed that in every category, the number of teens that
classify the issue as "not" is significantly lower compared to
the number of teens that classify the issues as "major" or
"minor." I wonder where Pew Research Center found their data.
Are the teens being questioned from a specific region of the
country, all over the U.S., or are they from other countries as
well? This would be important to know because the culture,
wealth, and governments of the area greatly affect the data
being collected. "Teens Recognize Their Destructive Behavior As
a Major issue"

Aditi, thats an interesting inference you made about the kind of
neighborhood this data was taken from. I wonder if we found data
on the resources available to teens in for these problems such
as therapists and planned parenthood if it would support the
data in the graph.
Ava, I agree about different issues affecting one another. It
would be interesting to see a Venn diagram where we could
compare the number of teens who chose "major" for two relating
categories.
