I’d like to talk about a news story regarding the increasing number of mental health problems among teenagers, such as those of IZ, the depression and stress. I read this news story online about maybe a year ago, maybe a year or two years, to close, explain that many teenagers were struggling with mental health issues due to academic pressure, social media force, and expectation and uncertainty about their future. It also mentioned that mental health problems had become more common after the pandemic. I had a long discussion about this topic with my friends from the Frankies University. We were having lunch together at the time when one of my friends bought this article And so all the other girls who are the topic felt very close and relatable to our lives and experiences. And everyone had different opinions. Some of my friends believed that social media was the main cause. The deaf teenagers often compare themselves to others online, which can lead to low poverty in anxiety. There is thought that academic pressure was a bigger problem. In countries where students face intense competition to get good grades and secure a successful future. Okay, your turn, sir.
