Happiness. Bit of a masterpiece, like a whole movie in a Tik Tok clip. Is the teen rebel a dying breed? Image copyright Thinkstock My son has just turned 13 and I made him a card to mark the moment he became a teenager.
I put a picture of him as a choir-boy next to a Photoshopped shot of him as a saggy-trousered gangsta rapper - the innocent child mutating into a growling ball of rebellious fury. But a series of recent official statistics are making me question whether the old joke is true any more. Teenage rebels are not what they were. Adolescents are increasingly turning their noses up at drugs, booze and fags, with consumption by young people the lowest at almost any time since we started measuring these things. Drugs: Last week, the Home Office published analysis which suggests the proportion of 16- to 24-year-olds that have ever taken illicit drugs has fallen from 54% in 1998 to 38% now. Tobacco: Last month, NHS analysis suggested the proportion of English 16- to 19-year-olds who have never smoked has risen from about two-thirds in 1998 to three-quarters now.
So what is going on? Pupils suffering from anxiety and depression to receive counselling in schools. Children suffering from anxiety and depression will be offered counselling at school under government plans to tackle a widely reported crisis in young people’s mental health.
Pupils in England will be able to attend sessions with therapists at school or college in an attempt to stop any psychological difficulties deepening into lifelong issues. Every school will also be required to appoint a teacher to co-ordinate improved support for the fast-growing number of children who are struggling mentally, many self-harming as a result of bullying, exam stress, dissatisfaction with their body shape, troubles at home and other factors. The plans are included in a government green paper to be launched on Sunday by health secretary Jeremy Hunt and education secretary Justine Greening. A new guaranteed maximum four-week waiting time for children with more complex problems to access NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) will be phased in. Brutally Honest Illustrations About Modern Life By The World’s Most Cynical Artist. Is life for teenagers nowadays easier than before?
Tennagers lives are 100% not easy Now these days we have social media.
Which to us is an important part of our lives now. But there is downsides in the fact that we are exposed to things that our parents back then weren't exposed to, such as people being able to bully us without being caught. Also with all the pictures of models and things on social media where when you look at them it makes you feel like you aren't pretty enough. Then there is school, where I am pretty sure back then they didn't have to do as much as what we have to do now. We have to go through things like studying almost 24/7 we have to keep up a popularity status (if you're someone who cares about that).

Holden, the opposite of Huck, is an unhappy rich boy who has done a bunk from his posh secondary school, Pencey Prep, in Agerstown, Pennsylvania.
He begins his first-person narrative in words that echo the famous opening of Twain’s novel (No 23 in this series), a frank disavowal of “all that David Copperfield kind of crap”. Holden declares that he isn’t going to tell us “about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down”. Actually, that’s just what he does, writing (apparently in retrospect from California) about three days in December 1949 when, having been chastised by his school “for not applying myself”, he plays truant over a long and memorable weekend in Manhattan.
