1) Nearly 100 teenagers are made homeless each day in the UK as a result of alcohol abuse by their parents, research shows.
Alcohol abuse among adults is damaging the lives of an estimated 700,000 teenagers across the UK, with one in four of these having been homeless in the last five years as a result – amounting to 96 per day, according to a study by The Children's Society.

2) Researchers from the UCL (University College London) Institute of Education and the University of Liverpool found that nearly a quarter (24 per cent) of 14-year-old girls and nine per cent of boys the same age are depressed.

3) Teenagers in England and Scotland are now more likely to go to university than ever before, official figures show.
One in three English 18-year-olds have been placed on degree courses through Ucas this year, according to new data published by the admissions service, along with around one in four Scottish youngsters of the same age.

4) A recent report from the Education Policy Institute, for example, studied children’s use of the internet and their mental health. The report found that teenagers value social networks as a way of connecting with friends and family, maintaining their networks of friends, and long distance connections. Teenagers see social networking as a comfortable medium for sharing their issues and finding solutions to problems such as social isolation and loneliness. They are also more likely to seek help in areas such as health advice, unknown experiences, and help with exams and study techniques.
On the other hand the report was able to list a substantial list of negative influences stemming from social media use, ranging from time wasting and addictive, compulsive use, to cyber-bullying, radicalisation, stress and sexual grooming to name just a few.
