Re: Making Sense of the Data Week 1

I notice the group with the most major cases is anxiety and
depression. Drug addiction and poverty both have 13% not.
I’m wondering where all these teens are from and what other
areas of their lives are like.
A problem teens believe is major is anxiety and depression

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that a lot of these issues have high percentages of
students that categorize them as major problems. Even if the
majority of people rule that it’s a minor problem, there is
never more than 30% of people who say there is no problem at
all.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what the data breakdown looks like. Is it all kids from
one school? What part of the country? How many people? Is it
biased/if so, how much?
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.

from and if all the kids are in the same place.

i notice most people think that poverty is a minor problem.
i wonder if the people in this school are privileged?, Did
everyone in the school partake in doing this survey? and
Location this school is in ?

school,but are all faced with same issues?"

You make a great point about the kids possibly being privileged
because not many of them said poverty was major so they probably
haven't had to deal with it.

I noticed that only 4% of teens find anxiety and depression not
be a problem with really concerns me. Because if 96% of teens
find anxiety and depression as a major problem what are we doing
wrong as a society to addressthis issue. One trend I noticed
that with all of these topics at least 70% the answers found the
topics to be a problem with their peers weither they said nor or
major.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
One thing I wonder is where is this data sampled from? is it
more females then males? And what region was this data token
from? Would it differ if it was from a different city or state?
Also how much of an accurate representation is it of different
races? Is it spread out in different social class groups?
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
Problems teens are facing today are overwhelmingly high numbers.

Jacob, I am also wondering where this data has come from.
Because it is true that gangs and poverty are not big issues in
Brookline. But may be bigger issues somewhere with would affect
the outcome of this data

Eric, I also wonder why the number for teen pregnancy is so
high. Maybe where this data was taken there was not health class
to inform them on methods of protection.

1. I notice that teenagers struggle with depression and anxiety
the most by a wide margin.
2. I wonder if teenagers that struggle with depression and
anxiety ALSO struggle with some of the other issues listed
below, such as poverty, drug addiction or gangs. Maybe that's
what causes them anxiety and depression in the first place.

Elsie, I didn't initially think about the wealth or overall
demographics of the area where the data was collected. I'm sure
that played a large role in the results of the data.

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you

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’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
What are the major issues in teens’ lives?

Ava, I find your question about if this data correlates to the
number of people affected by each issue very interesting. I
think it would be helpful if the graphic also gave that
information.

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 definitely think that location was a massive outcome to
the results of this data. This makes me too wonder where this
data was gathered and how affluent the neighborhood this data
was gathered in was.
