Teens and Their Screentime: Happiness Unexpected

Believe it or not, a recent study found that teens can actually feel happier while using their phones. Over the course of a year, researchers kept tabs on 26 teens to see how their phone habits affected their mood. The results? Teens were at their happiest when they were chatting with friends or playing games. It's not just about the time they spent on their phones, but what they chose to do during that time. Maybe it's time for adults to rethink their advice. It's not as simple as telling teens to just put their phones down.What's more, the study showed that it's the activities, not the duration, that matter most. So, next time you see a teen glued to their phone, remember that they might be doing something that's making them truly happy. It's all about the balance and the activities they engage in, not just the screen time itself.
