Unit 1: Mental well-being.(Brief Article)
Background Bonus
That young people are often stressed out about not having friends, not looking good, and being embarrassed in front of a group isn't news. But these worries are now taking a back seat to a whole new set of concerns. According to several surveys of young people, their worries now include drugs, disease, the economy, parents losing their jobs, and gangs.
