It's bad for your health and your happiness. So, who is happier — girls or boys? Girls aged 13 are the happiest, but girls aged 14-15 are the least happy. The researchers say the older girls are unhappier for two reasons, First, their parents are concerned about their friends and they don't want them to go out alot Second, the older girls start to worry about how they look. Boys don’t usually have this Pressure, What about children in your country? Do You think they agree with the American children in the study? Escaneado con CamScannervw VOCABULARY@1| 1.
