回答题:Why are America's Kids SoStressed I'm usually fairly skepticalabout any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappieror more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any ofthese statements might be true, they are practically impossible to provescientifically.

In fact,the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level ofanxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America's kids sostressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation --brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among otherthings -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
