84% Informative

A recent survey asked 1,644 young people across the U.S. to rate the importance of "being safe" as the No. 1 priority.

Adolescence, like early childhood, is a pivotal period for brain development.

Young people are particularly vulnerable to fear-driven messaging prevalent in traditional and social media.

Further research can help untangle the complex relationship between external stressors, media consumption and youth well-being, shedding light on how to best support adolescents during this formative stage of life. Provided by The Conversation.
