This study makes for damning reading 😔

Teenagers in UK schools are significantly less satisfied with their lives than their peers worldwide, a new survey suggests.

The average across the OECD’s 37 member countries was 67%, meaning two in three students are happy with their lives. Some 3.6% of UK students polled gave their life satisfaction a score of 0 – representing ‘not at all satisfied’ – the lowest of any OECD country except for Turkey on 8.2%. The data, based on responses from nearly 14,000 UK students across more than 500 schools, found that 27% of UK kids reported being bullied at least a few times a month.This compared with the 23% average across the 36 OECD countries with relevant data, putting the UK seventh in the table of highest percentage of bullied students.
