Key points:Climate change and environmental problems ranked high as a concernHaving his own space is a relief for the 18-year-old who bounced from foster care to couch surfing and eventually landed in a homeless shelter.
"I have to catch a lift into work with another fella due to I can't afford to run my car, but paying my rent I'm able to keep on top of now." It found 53 per cent of 15 to 19-year-olds were working, 41 per cent said they faced school challenges and 29 per cent reported high levels of psychological distress.
"Every single state and territory rated that as the number-one issue — and that didn't vary too much, whether it was metropolitan, rural, or remote areas."The survey also identified equity and discrimination as a key issue, particularly discrimination over gender, race and mental health.Teenager Layla Hodges said school was a source of worry for her.
Tesla I hope the ABC reports on the Tesla Semi. It could help tens feel hopeful about the future. Diesel trucks make up 20% of total vehicle emission.
Only half of Australian teenagers have an understanding about how sick the world we live in is becoming*
I feel sorry for the young people of today, their going to endure a really difficult time ahead not from the environment only
Were they actual teenagers or people who identify as teenagers?
Reminds me of the days when Sydney Newspapers printed photos Of Sydney with the effects of a nuclear attack with the Harbor Bridge as the epicentre. We all went out and bought white sheets or dug holes in the backyard.
Well all the predictions say that gen z is likely to be worse off economically than their parents it's not hard to see why. Not to mention climate change or geopolitical tensions either...
There is a whole lot of stuff the government nerds to do like bring in a windfall profits tax and emissions standards for all vehicles which would lift the mood.
You know, this would be the same for multiple generations gone. We just didn't fucking do a survey every couple of years so we can whine. We just had to get on with it.
I'll bet most of the watch/listen to the ABC! AllDoom AllGloom LeftardsAlwaysCrying
That says a lot of the people in government.
Always complaining
With the numpties currently in charge, I don't blame them.
yep their future will be even harder as companies look at replacing humans with robots even more so than current
This is really upsetting, I hope media and educators can shift it's focus from problems to solutions and give young people some hope for the future
So nothing has changed then.
And as an adult, I'm with them. No housing, expensive healthcare, chronic pain, covid, pretty hopeless. Ending up living in your car seems inevitable for 50 percent of people. Each generation of teenagers since the 90s has been increasingly screwed over.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s worrying about getting nuked and being sold the conservative fear that Indonesia and the Communists were coming to get me. Sold by conservative media. skynews is part of the problem.
I'd be surprised if it's that many
With the ABC and other media organisations spreading so much FUD, who can blame them
Why worry kids?The planet is doomed.If Greta T is right we'll be gone in a few years.
A lack of employment opportunities arising from having neck tattoos
Well, it’s getting pretty hard to hide the fact the world is just about a complete f++k up to the kids. There will be no marked progress in society to better their lives and the state of the natural environment, and the cost of living will only get worse for in their lifetime.
Hard work is hard.
Why would they? They are trained by socialist antichrist teachers, fed lies by socialist lying media determined to destroy the country.
'In other news, the guy I punched in the face has a sore face'
Hello ! This is your and the rest of the woke media’s doing with your relentless naratives of racism, climate change, the world is terrible-problem problem problem!. A little looking inwards perhaps and some taking of responsibility, hmm?!🤔
So fairly normal then.
That's a fuckton more than would have been the case when we were teens. And an imperial fuckton at that.
No wonder. Combine the indoctrination with the feedback loop!!
“We’ve told them they’re all going to die in 12 years, strange how it’s affected their view of the future”
Why should I? Is it legally required?
Water and food is important, but for modern society to function, everything is derived from energy, which means energy security is the number 1 priority. Leaders around the word have failed. Australia should have built nuclear plants decades ago,maintained reserves & refinery's
How is the brainwashing by the left and greens in our schools and uni working out for your children Australia!
After spending a decade at school being told that the planet is melting by ignorant teachers, I’m surprised it’s only half.
What chance have they got everything is sewn up, lambs to the slaughter.
If you went back a hundred years ago and asked the same questions, you probably would of gotten similar responses. I do remember my Grandmother telling me about when she ran from a fighter plane who shot at the ground by her feet as a game while she ran.
i dont believe that and no one else should either . what is abc doing ? groomin our young ?boot the buttnose . young ones are our future . lnp tryin to groom young ones through abc . boot the buttnose
'About one in five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teenagers aged between 15 and 19, like Blake' Another racist and divisive article by The ABC
That’s the effect an overdose of modern media has on them.
Greta the Doom Goblin & her enablers & acolytes have a lot to answer for - especially the ABC.
And fair enough too given where we are heading with renewables crap. Will destroy many many regions in Qld. Poverty will be tenfold and costs rocketing
And the ABC had nothing to do with it nothing to see here. Now go and own nothing and eat your bugs
That’s not surprising, when the education departments and organisations like ABC constantly bombard them with fear propaganda that their world is doomed because of “climate change”. ClimateScam
