An institute surveyed teens post pandemic and compared the results with identical questions in a 2018 survey. Fewer teens were desperately lonely, the number of teens saying they were depressed was down, their overall satisfaction with life was just slightly lower. The factors that seem to be working in teens favor is more sleep at more appropriate times given their circadian rhythms, more family interaction, similar time using technology, but less time using social media. They also having to face difficulties and adaptions, felt more empowered over their own lives.
(I said this all comes as a surprise. If you don't agree, don't kill the messenger. Also results were not so good for adults.)
Teens Did Surprisingly Well in Quarantine
More sleep and family time—and less social media—may have made the difference.
