A new study by the British government has discovered that the mental well-beings of the country's teenage girls has worsened.

The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005and 2014,showed 37 percent of

girls with psychological stress,up from 34percent in 2005.British boys' stress level was actually seen

to fall over the same period from 17 percent to 15 percent.

The report's authors pointed out the"advent of the social media age"could be a major contributing

factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.

"The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive and emotional development," Pam

Ramsden,a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom,wrote in a blog

post."Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults.In the past they

would associate with parents,teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family

members and friends.Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.

Throughout adolescence,girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control.
