Youths in Europe, Canada, and Central Asia are experiencing less family support and increased school pressure, according to the World Health Organization. The percentage of adolescents reporting high levels of family support has decreased, with a larger drop observed among girls. Additionally, more teens are feeling pressured by schoolwork, especially girls. Decreases in peer support were also noted, particularly among girls. The WHO recommends improving social environments for teens by implementing measures such as reducing class sizes, providing mentorship programs, and supporting low-income families. Governments should invest in parenting programs to help support teenagers, especially girls.
