Voice in the Trenches; How the Economy is Affecting Teens We
asked our Student, how is the state of the economy playing out in the
lives of teens in your school? Do you have any advice for parents or
teachers? " I live a very privileged life and attend a very affluent school. However, the current economic crisis is definitely affecting teens I know. This year, students aren't traveling as much, and more students are taking summer jobs. My friend recently told me that she was scared... because her parents told her that they couldn't afford to do some things that they've done in the past. Times are changing, and I think most teens are afraid because they don't know what's going to happen next. A teacher or parent can relieve the stress a teen faces by being open and honest, and letting them know what is going on. By communicating and sharing information, an adult can help teens understand what is going (on) and lessen the impact if things take a bad turn." ~ Anonymous Student Journalist |
