In the article, “The Kids Are Not All Right”, by Susanna Schrosdorff and published in Time Magazine’s November 7th, 2016 issue, Schrosdorff elaborates on the generational phenomenon of self-harm in teens, especially in girls , due to social media, school pressure and worldly problems, and explains how a parent could help. Schrosdorff first tells the story of a girl, named Faith-Ann, who cut herself to cope with stress in middle school, while keeping it a secret from her parents. Schrosdorff also talks about other kids across America who are in similar situations.  She emphasizes that “Self-harm, which some experts say is on the rise, is perhaps the most disturbing symptom of a broader psychological problem: a spectrum of angst that plagues 21st-century teens” (Schrosdorff 46). From many different conversations with a wide demographic of people, Schrosdorff speculates that the main cause of the problems is due to economic an and national insecurity, a time where school shootings are the norm, and a time when technology and social media is transforming society.  Schrosdorff backs up her claim with a quote from Faith-Ann, “We’re all like little volcanoes. We’re getting constant pressure, from our phones, from our relationships, from the way things are today” (47).  Turning the corner, Schrosdorff then talks about how parents can also be a large part of the stress, and anxiety than teens have.  She emphasizes the fact that parents are more disconnected from their children than in past generations, and often miss simple signs that teens putting out. Schrosdorff claims that even parents who think they know a lot about their child’s life and do not always catch the simple things that cause kids' pain. She states that parents do not know what to do when they find out about their children’s conditions and often take the wrong steps to help their children. At the end of the article, Schrosdorff discusses ways for a parent to help their kid without making things worse.
