More than 4 in 10 U.S. high school students said they felt persistently sad or hopeless during the pandemic, according to government findings.

FILE - A student walks down a hallway between classes at a high school in Kansas City, Kan., on the first day of in-person learning Wednesday, March 30, 2021.

“This really gives us the evidence to say with certainty that the pandemic was incredibly disruptive for young people and their families," said Kathleen Ethier of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
