Making Sense of the Data Week 1
By: Jacob Smagula Date: March 26, 2020, 10:32 am
---------------------------------------------------------
What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that the claims of a major issue increase orderly
across the top, clearly showing what is most important to
students in terms of worry. There are almost no overlapping
concerns, showing that the majority of students have similar
priorities.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder where they got this data from, and under what
circumstances do students take this poll. Are they all from high
schools? From similar areas? Are their names recorded when
taking it? That would interest me just as much as the data.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
“Students seem to have similar priorities when it comes to
problems that affect them”

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"

I also wonder how this data was taken, and wonder if it would
change depending on age or location. Data can be used in so many
ways that without prior knowledge of where it comes from, it can
be used to the writer's advantage and perspective

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.
[/quote]
I wonder if it more a concern about teen pregnancy, or actual
worrying caused by teen pregnancy as you suggest in your "I
wonder'. I think it would be interesting to see what the
underlying worry is caused by.

I notice that:
-In all of the categories over 33 percent of teenagers see these
issues as major among their peers
-I noticed that in half of the categories major has the highest
percentage and in the other half minor has the highest
percentage
-I notices that not always has the smallest percentage
I noticed that anxiety and depression hace the highest
percentage of students who see it as major among their peers
I wonder:
-If this data would match the data of the percentage of
teenagers who think it is a major/minor/not a problem for
themselves?
-I wonder how this data differs between different states, areas
with different wealth or diversity, and different countries?
-I wonder what has caused anxiety and depression to because the
biggest issue?
-I wonder if there is a big difference in this data between
different genders, races, or age groups?
Headline: The Hidden Truth of the Prevalence of Issues Among
Teens

I also want to know where all this data is coming from because
the location of these teenagers can tell us the main reasons why
kids have these problems.

I agree that we should be taking a step forward to help out our
fellow teens

Ale, it is very interesting how you noticed the correlation
between many of these issues. I am also curious about how this
data would vary between different ethnic or racial groups.

Nina, I also noticed the high percentage of people who
categorized these issues as major problems and the low
percentage of people who categorized these issues as not a
problem at all. I agree it would be interesting to look more at
where the data came from and potential biases.

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that for the “gangs” section, the major, minor, and not
sections are somewhat evenly divided. Unlike gangs, almost all
teens have felt some form of anxiety and depression among their
peers.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder if any of the sections influence the result of other
sections. For example, would anxiety and depression lead to drug
addiction or drinking alcohol?
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
Most teens believe that anxiety and depression are a big part of
their lives; see how other health issues compare
