And a Gallup-Walton Family Foundation study reported a significant decline in the proportion of Gen Z youths who consider their mental health excellent since 2013. These findingsechoa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey indicating 42% of high school students had experienced such persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the past year that they couldn’t participate in regular activities, up from 28% in 2011.

常识媒体开展的一项调查显示，全国12 到 17 岁的青少年中有 53% 认为心理健康问题是他们的学校面临的一个主要问题。盖洛普-沃尔顿家庭基金会的一项研究表示，95后年轻人自 2013 年以来认为自己心理健康状况很好的比例显著下降。这些发现与美国疾病控制与预防中心的一项调查结果相一致，该调查显示，42% 的高中生在过去一年中曾经历过一段期间的悲伤或绝望情绪，甚至无法参与日常活动，2011 年这一比例为28%。

Para.2

I’ve already heard adults labeling today’s young people the Hopeless Generation, the Anxious Generation, the Depressed Generation, the COVID Generation and the Troubled Generation. The latest surveys threaten to reinforce suchstereotypes. Yes, adults have long been too ready to attach negative labels to teenagers. This has been true sincethe dawn ofthe study of adolescent development in the early 20th century. We also found that parents who used negative words to describe the teen brain were more likely to have children who reported more negative feelings, including anger, sadness, loneliness and worry.

我经常听到成年人给当今的年轻人贴上“绝望的一代”、“焦虑的一代”、“抑郁的一代”、“新冠的一代”和“烦恼的一代”等标签。最新的调查结果恐怕会加强这种刻板印象。是的，成年人长期以来一直都倾向于给青少年贴上这些负面的标签。从20世纪初开始对青少年发展进行研究起就一直存在。我们还发现，用负面词语描述青少年的父母，其孩子更有可能表现出更多的负面情绪，包括愤怒、悲伤、孤独和忧虑等。

Para.3

What comes first, young people’s negative feelings or parents’ negative views? We couldn’t fully answer that question, but we could control for factors that might affect how adults see teenagers, such as demographics, the level of conflict between parents and children, and the negative words parents use to describe their children. Our finding of acorrelationbetween views and feelingsheld up.

年轻人的负面情绪和父母的负面看法，这两者出现的先后顺序如何？我们无法解释清楚这个问题，但我们可以控制那些可能影响成年人看待青少年的因素，比如人口统计、父母与子女之间的冲突程度，以及父母用来形容子女的负面词汇等。我们关于观点和感觉之间的相关性的发现得到了证实。

Para.4

The relationship alsopersistedwhen we surveyed the same parents and adolescents again nine months later, during the pandemic. To put it another way, the parents who held more positive views of teenagers in general had kids who were doing better during a very rough period in our nation’s history. So what can we do? We as a society certainly need a mental health system that provides access to affordable, high-quality, consistent care more reliably that it does now. We need the education provided by our schools to be more engaging, relevant and meaningful. And we need tomitigatethe risks of social media to young people.

当我们在九个月后的疫情期间再次对同样的父母和青少年进行调查时，这二者之间的关系仍然存在。换句话说，对青少年持更积极看法的父母，他们的孩子在经历国家历史上一个非常艰难的期间时表现得更好。那么我们能做些什么呢？作为一个社会，我们当然需要一个能够更可靠地提供经济、高质量、可持续的关爱心理健康系统。我们需要学校提供的教育更有吸引力、更重大、更有意义。而且我们需要减轻社交媒体对年轻人的风险。

Para.5

Beyond thesemonumentalundertakings, however, all of us can help in smaller, everyday ways. We can work to improve young people’s relationships with the people in their lives, especially the older people — a point that the surgeon general’s 2021 report on youth mental health emphasizes. Our own study found that when adolescents reported that that they were treated with respect, made to feel as if they belong, and helped to grow and learn, theyfaredwell during the pandemic. They got better grades, had a more hopeful view of their futures and were less stressed.

然而，除了这些重大事项，我们每个人都可以在更小的日常工作上发挥作用。我们可以努力改善年轻人与生活中的人的关系，尤其是与长辈之间的关系——这正是2021年美国卫生部长在青少年心理健康报告中强调的一个观点。翻译划线句，在文末留言打卡，答案下期公布~他们的成绩会更好，对未来更加充满希望，压力感也更轻。
