Dailymail指出:英国孤独“Facebook一代”借助酒精寻求慰藉

在英国,处于16到24岁年龄层的年轻人被称为“Facebook一代”,然而,尽管他们在Facebook网站上拥有上千名好友,尽管他们可以通过信息、博客等各种方式进行交流,但据调查显示,这些年轻人比其他年龄层觉得更孤单。

离退休人员中有1/4表示生活很无趣,但1/3的“Facebook一代”也有同感,另外还有28%的年轻人表示孤单会令他们觉得不愉快。更有甚者,1/4的年轻人选择借助酒精寻求慰藉,而另一半人则暴饮暴食。

BBC Radio 3在对国民幸福水平的调查中发现了上述英国年轻人的颓废现状。

在英国政府采取的紧急措施中,青少年和年轻人目前最困扰的就是工作和经济问题。70%的“Facebook一代”表示经济是他们烦恼的首要原因,1/3则表示为工作所苦,这一问题在中老龄受访者中仅占1/4。除经济和工作外,也有1/3的人表示面临家庭和情感问题,同时他们也面对着社会地位的竞争问题。另外1/3的“Facebook一代”表示希望出国寻找幸福,这一比例超过了其他所有年龄层。

总的来说,金钱是造成所有年龄层人士烦恼的最大因素,然后依次是工作,感情问题和孤独感。

尽管中老年人与年轻人一样面临财政难题,但他们在生活的其他方面获得了满足。面临情感问题的55到64岁年龄段者仅有8%。

行为心理学家Jo Hemmings指出,社交网站并没有什么过错,但以其取代面对面交谈或电话交流则会造成疏离感。“真正的朋友要一起分享过体验和保持紧密联系,但社交网站中一些所谓的朋友实质上只是没有任何亲密联系的陌生人。” (本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译)

They have thousands of online Facebook friends and use social networking to text, blog and Twitter their every thought.

But Britain’s 16 to 24-year-olds – the so-called Facebook generation – are lonelier than any other age group, researchers found yesterday.

One in three said they were bored with their lives, compared to just eight per cent of pensioners, and 28 per cent complained that loneliness was making them unhappy.

Worryingly, more than a quarter revealed they turned to alcohol for comfort, and half admitted to using junk food as an emotional crutch.

The depressing picture of life for young people in Britain emerged from a survey into national happiness levels, conducted for BBC Radio 3.

As Britain comes to terms with swingeing new austerity measures, teenagers and young adults emerged as having the greatest worries about work and money.

Asked what made them unhappy, 70 per cent of the Facebook generation said finances topped their list of concerns.

More than a third were worried about holding down a job, compared to a quarter of middle-aged respondents.

One in three said they were tormented by family or relationship problems, and they were also the age group that were most likely to struggle over their social status.

Overall, money was the biggest cause of unhappiness across all age groups, above work, relationships and loneliness.

But while older age groups shared the Facebook generation’s finance fears, they were more fulfilled in other areas of their lives.

Almost a third of the youngest generation reported they had relationship problems, which dropped to just eight per cent among 55 to 64-year-olds.

And one in three of the Facebook generation – more than any other age group – said they wanted to move abroad in search of happiness.

Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings said: ‘There’s nothing wrong with social networking, but if it’s used instead of face-to-face meetings or phone calls than it can be very isolating.

‘Real friendships are made through shared experiences and bonds. Some social networking “friends” are barely even acquaintances, without any real meaning or intimacy.’ (Source:dailymail)
