Fashionable clothes, new mobile phones and holidays: do they make you happy? What are the most important things in life? Researchers in Britain asked 5,000 girls and boys aged 10-15 this question. The answer is" the simple things" are the most important.
Friends, a good home life and sports make children happy. They say these things are more important than money. I'm very pleased that a lot of children understand what is good for them and what is bad for them.
What about the Internet? Do Facebook and YouTube make children happy? Do happy children spend lots of time online? The researchers asked children about it and they learnt something very interesting. Children who use the Internet for only one hour a day are happy, but children who spend lots of time online aren't very happy. This is because they don't have time for other activities that can make them happy. For example, they don't play a sport, ride their bike or meet their friends.
But it isn't only activities with friends that make children happy.
Children who have their own bedroom are happier. Maybe when they share a bedroom with a brother or sister, there are lots of fights! Food is important, too. Children who don't eat fruit and vegetables every day, or children who have a lot of fast food are usually less happy. Are you eating something bad for you now? Stop! It's bad for your health and your happiness.
So, who is happier— girls or boys? Girls aged 10-12 are the happiest, but girls aged 13-15 are the least happy. The researchers say the older girls are unhappier for two reasons. Firstly, their parents are worried about their friends and they don't want them to go out a lot. Secondly, the older girls start to worry about how they look. Boys don't usually have this pressure.
What about you? Do you agree with the British children?
