世界卫生组织警告称，欧洲、加拿大和中亚地区的青少年感受到的家庭支持减少，而学校压力却在增加。2018年至2022年间，感受到较高家庭支持的青少年比例从73%下降至67%，女孩下降更为明显，从72%降至64%。同时，青少年感受到的学校压力也在增加，2022年近三分之二的15岁女孩表示感到学业压力，相比之下，男孩的比例为43%。世卫组织呼吁各国改善青少年的社会环境，提供更多支持，例如缩减班级规模、实施辅导项目、将社会情感学习融入课程等，以应对日益增长的压力和性别差异。

🤔2018年至2022年，欧洲、加拿大和中亚地区青少年感受到的家庭支持下降，从73%降至67%，女孩下降更为显著，从72%降至64%。

📚2022年，近三分之二的15岁女孩（63%）表示感到学业压力，高于2018年的54%，而男孩的比例为43%，也高于2018年的40%。

🤝青少年同伴支持也下降，从61%降至58%，女孩下降更为明显，从67%降至62%。

👧男孩和女孩面临不同的压力，女孩可能面临学业优秀和传统社会角色的双重期望，而男孩可能面临表现坚强和独立的压力，这可能导致他们不愿意寻求必要的支持。

💡世卫组织建议学校采取措施，例如缩减班级规模、实施辅导项目、将社会情感学习融入课程等，以创建更具包容性的学校环境，并帮助学生应对压力。

Youths in Europe, Canada and Central Asia feel less family support and more school pressure than before, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday, urging countries to improve teens’ social environments.The share of adolescents who report high levels of family support fell from 73 percent in 2018 to 67 percent in 2022, with the drop even more pronounced among girls, from 72 percent to 64 percent, the WHO Europe said.Youths also increasingly report school pressure, it added.In 2022, almost two-thirds of 15-year-old girls, 63 percent, said they felt pressured by schoolwork — up from 54 percent in 2018 — compared to 43 percent of boys, up from 40 percent.“Adolescents today are facing unprecedented challenges in their social environments, from declining support at home to increasing pressure at school, with potentially long-term consequences for their health and future life prospects,” WHO Europe regional director Hans Kluge said in a statement.Teens who report high levels of family support — more likely to be found in more affluent families — often have better mental health than those who report limited or nonexistent support, the WHO said.The report also found that youths’ peer support had declined, falling from 61 percent to 58 percent, and was most pronounced among girls, where it dropped from 67 percent to 62 percent.“Girls are often caught between competing expectations of academic excellence and traditional social roles, while boys may face pressure to appear strong and self-reliant, discouraging them from seeking necessary support,” one of the authors of the report, Irene García-Moya, said in the statement.The WHO said action was needed to support teens, taking into account “significant gender disparities”.School environments should be made more inclusive by reducing class sizes, implementing mentorship programmes and integrating social-emotional learning into the curriculum, it said.It added that schools must tackle rising stress levels with balanced homework policies, study skills support and regular student-teacher check-ins.Governments should also implement targeted financial support for low-income families and invest in parenting programmes to help parents support their children, particularly teenage girls.The study presented by the WHO surveyed almost 280,000 young people aged 11, 13 and 15 in 44 countries in Europe, Canada and Central Asia.
