According to a survey made by the Children’s  Society, one in ten children are unhappy. In this survey they questioned more than 30.000 young persons between eight and sixteen years old at the UK.

This investigation show us that the family generates a big impact in the children’s happines, because its behaviors affected the emocional stability, mainly of the young people of the family. Another factor that influence weel-being is to move home, specially when it happens more tan once in a year.

The study also show us that the unhappiness increase with the age, above all when children go  in to the puberty and they “need” to look well to be accepted by they peers, being this more remarkable in girls.

The study says that children since eight years old already realized about the monetary’s problems of their parents, thing that increase the concern of the children for things that they wouldn’t have to worry about.

Also, in school one in ten children feels dissatisfied with the relationship with their teachers, and one in six doesn’t  feel uncomfortable with the way that they are being listened at the school.  

Even the archbishop of York told his opinion, he said that the huge quantity of unhappy children it’s  "a wake-up call to us all".

Finally, Elaine Hindal, director of the campaign for childhood at the Children’s Society, was very worried about this situation; that’s why he made note "We are calling for a radical new approach to childhood, placing their wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Our research has exposed that how children feel really matters. We know that, right now, half a million children are unhappy. We have discovered the key reasons for this unhappiness and what we can do to make it better. We want our country to be the best place for our children to grow up. Yet unless we act now we risk becoming one of the worst and creating a lost future generation."
