What Makes Teens Happy Is Not What You Think

(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 21, 2007 ) Point Roberts, WA - According to an extensive survey of over 1200 people ages 13-24 conducted by The Associated Press and MTV, some surprising answers showed up regarding the nature of happiness among America’s young people. Turns out that the top answer to the question “What makes you happy?” was “spending time with family”.The research found that “nearly three-quarters of young people say their relationships with their parents makes them happy,” and, when asked about their heroes “nearly half mentioned one of their parents”. Parents will also be reassured to know that money was not considered a significant factor in terms of personal happiness.
