I'd like to talk about a news story regarding the increasing number of mental health problems among teenagers, such as depression and stress. I read this news story online about a year ago, which explained that many teenagers were struggling with mental health issues due to academic pressure, social media influence, and expectations 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 Frankies University. We were having lunch together when one of my friends brought up this article, and all the other girls found the topic very relatable to our lives and experiences. Everyone had different opinions. Some of my friends believed that social media was the main cause, as teenagers often compare themselves to others online, which can lead to low self-esteem and anxiety. Others thought that academic pressure was a bigger problem, especially in countries where students face intense competition to get good grades and secure a successful future. Okay, your turn, sir.
