But what do the teenagers themselves think?
Because little has been heard of the voice of Irish teenagers in relation to their own mental health and wellbeing the Irish Examiner partnered with ReachOut Ireland to survey 2,500 teenage boys and girls from all around the country on this very topic and found out what's wrecking teenagers' heads.
Read the results tomorrow, Friday and Saturday exclusively in the Irish Examiner and on irishexaminer.com
