Generation:teenagers affected by phones
Oneday last summer, around noon, I called Athena, a 13-year-old who lives inHouston, Texas. She answered her phone – she has had an iPhone since she was 11– sounding as if she’d just woken up. We chatted about her favorite songs andTV shows, and I asked her what she likes to do with her friends. “We go to themall,” she said. “Do your parents drop you off?” I asked, recalling my ownmiddleschool days, in the 1980s, when I’d enjoy a few parent-free hours shoppingwith my friends. “No – I go with my family,” she replied. “We’ll go with my momand brothers and walk a little behind them. I just have to tell my mom where weare going. I have to check in every hour or every 30 minutes.”
Thosemall trips are infrequent – about once a month. More often, Athena and herfriends spend time together on their phones, unchaperoned. Unlike the teens ofmy generation, who might have spent an evening tying up the family landlinewith gossip, they talk on Snapchat, a smartphone app that allows users to sendpictures and videos that quickly disappear. They make sure to keep up theirSnapstreaks, which show how many days in a row they have Snapchatted with eachother. She told me she had spent most of the summer hanging out alone in herroom with her phone. That is just the way her generation is, she said. “Wedidn’t know any life other than with iPads or iPhones. I think we like ourphones more than we like actual people.”
Somegenerational changes are positive, some are negative, and many are both. Morecomfortable in their bedrooms than in a car or at a party, today’s teens arephysically safer than teens have ever been. They are markedly less likely toget into a car accident and, having less of a taste for alcohol than theirpredecessors, are less susceptible to drinking’s attendant ills.
Psychologically,however, they are more vulnerable than Millennials were: rates of teendepression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. It is not an exaggerationto describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis indecades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their phones. However, inmy conversations with teens, I saw hopeful signs that kids themselves arebeginning to link some of their troubles to their ever-present phone. Athenatold me that when she does spend time with her friends in person, they areoften looking at their device instead of at her. “I’m trying to talk to themabout something, and they don’t actually look at my face,” she said. “They’relooking at their phone, or they’re looking at their Apple Watch.” “What doesthat feel like, when you’re trying to talk to somebody face-to-face and they’renot looking at you?” I asked. “It kind of hurts,” she said. “It hurts. I knowmy parents’ generation didn’t do that. I could be talking about something superimportant to me, and they wouldn’t even be listening.”
Once,she told me, she was hanging out with a friend who was texting her boyfriend.“I was trying to talk to her about my family, and what was going on, and shewas like, ‘Uh-huh, yeah, whatever.’ So I took her phone out of her hands and Ithrew it at the wall.”
Thoughit is aggressive behavior that I don’t support, on the other hand – it is astep towards a life with limited phone use. So, if I were going to give advicefor a happy adolescence, it would be straightforward: put down the phone, turnoff the laptop, and do something – anything – that does not involve a screen.

Tapescripts
Speaker1 Саn you believe it — it rained every day we were there! I wasntexpecting the weather to bе brilliant, but I thought it would bе а bit warmerbecause we went in July! I took all the wrong clothes and managed to catch аcold. I had to spend а couple of days in bed and missed out on а lot of thesightseeing.
Speaker2 Му family and I had such а lovely holiday last Christmas. We decidedto go skiing in Scotland. When we arrived the sun was out and it was reallywarm. As а result, there was absolutely no snow what so ever. But overnight thesnow came — lots of it — and we had perfect conditions for the rest of theweek! We had а happy Christmas too, with lots of good food!
Speaker3 Portugal is well worth а visit, but you should avoid going atEaster. It is such а popular destination at that time of year you have to bооksomewhere to stay before you go. Му friend Diana and I made the mistake ofbuying flights only to Lisbon and so we spent а lot of our time on the phonetrying to find guest houses with rooms available. It would have bееn better togo on an all·inclusive city break.
Speaker4 I was feeling а little anxious because I was travelling on my ownand was arriving in Paris late at night. Fortunately, the friend I was stayingwith gave me detailed notes on how to get to her house. But I got on theunderground to find out that some of the stations were closed. I ended upgetting а taxi instead.
Speaker5 When I went on а package holiday to Spain last уеаг I stayed inа hotel bу the sea. It was а beautiful location, right on the bеасh, and when Iarrived I thought I was going to have the perfect holiday. Well — almost. 1 wasso disappointed with the quality of the meals. Next time I will only рау forbed and breakfast, not full· board. It s better to eat out in restaurants.
Speaker6 If you ever go on а city break, take my advice — go for more thantwo days! It is so exhausting if you want to see everything. When I was in Istanbulа few years ago I took а lot of photos of the main attractions so I had а lotof impressions to share with my friends when I came back, but the two days Iwas there were really hectic and hardly pleasurable.
