Dig a Little Deeper

Even in the news we must be careful about what we read and hear about the demographics being done. Here's an example of that.
Check out this article done by cbs news called What Makes Young People Happy .
It talks about families and adds statistics about what makes teens, children, and parents happy. A lot of their information is good advice, but what raises the red flag for me is that they don't state directly where there sources come from. They use phrases like "close to half" or "a certain percentage of teens..." etc. They don't say from where, when, or who they are taking this info from. What teens, families, or parents are being represented for this article? How long ago are the studies and survey's taken from? All these questions are important to consider before coming to a direct conclusion or believing something right away.
When doing research look at whose writing the article. That will tell you a lot about their credibility.
Dig a little deeper into your research! It will benefit you and your family.
