What makes teens and twenty-somethings happy? According to a survey, spending time with family made
people in this age group the happiest. Time with friends came in second place, and time with a boyfriend or
girlfriend came in third place. Almost no one said money brought happiness.
Seventy-three percent said that a good relationship with their parents made them feel good. In addition,
when they looked for a role model, almost half of the people who took the questionnaire mentioned one of their
parents. Moms ranked higher than dads, though.
Some of the discoveries were less positive. White people generally felt happier than black people or Hispanics
in all economic categories. And as for stress, kids had a 10% higher rate than adults. Younger respondents said
school stressed them out the most. Older people were worried about jobs and finances.
The survey also wanted to know whether today's youth will remain happy in the future. Sixty-two percent
of teens believed the future will bring more happiness. However, they also expect to have a more difficult life
than their parents.
