The Good Childhood Report 2024 highlights that UK teenagers are increasingly dissatisfied with life, with significant factors being economic pressures and a decline in happiness since 2009.
Chief executive Mark Russell stated, "This is without doubt the most shocking report we've published, reflecting a significant decline in children's overall happiness across multiple facets of life, especially school and appearance."
The report indicates that 11% of children aged 10-17 report low wellbeing, emphasizing that rising prices and social media are central concerns impacting their happiness.
With one in six children from households facing the cost of living crisis expressing low life satisfaction, the report suggests urgent reforms are crucial to address these issues.
