The Children's Society's report revealed that 25% of 15-year-olds in Britain reported low life satisfaction, significantly higher than the European average of 16.6%.
"Alarm bells are ringing," said Mark Russell of the Children’s Society, emphasizing that U.K. teenagers are dealing with a happiness recession and the lowest life satisfaction in Europe.
Concerns among youth include high living costs and schoolwork, with satisfaction levels sharply declining since the first report in 2009/10 on various fronts.
The rising number of unhappy children could hinder their adulthood well-being, reflected in increased school absences and young workers taking more sick leaves.
