Below are three reliable sources you can use for a high-school-level paper with the thesis point “social expectation” (how expectations from parents, teachers, peers, and society put pressure on students and increase anxiety and depression).
1) American Psychological Association (APA) — report
- Bibliographic info: American Psychological Association. Stress in America™: Generation Z. November 2018.
- URL / Database: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress/2018/stress-gen-z.pdf
- Key quote / piece of evidence: The report shows that adolescents identify school-related pressures (grades, tests, college admissions) and social expectations as major sources of stress, and that high stress among teens is linked to worse mental and physical health.
- How it supports your thesis: This report connects social/academic expectations directly to teen stress and poorer mental health outcomes (anxiety, depression).
2) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — Youth Risk Data
- Bibliographic info: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance — United States, 2019 (YRBS data summaries). 2019.
- URL / Database: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm
- Key quote / piece of evidence: CDC YRBS data (2019) found that 36.7% of U.S. high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the previous year — a commonly used indicator of depression in youth.
- How it supports your thesis: These prevalence numbers show that depression is common among students; when combined with studies on school pressure and expectations, this helps argue that social/academic expectations contribute to elevated anxiety and depressive symptoms.
3) World Health Organization (WHO) — fact sheet
- Bibliographic info: World Health Organization. Adolescent mental health (fact sheet). Updated 2020.
- URL / Database: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/adolescent-mental-health
- Key quote / piece of evidence: “Half of all mental health conditions start by 14 years of age but most cases are undetected and untreated.” The fact sheet also notes that social and environmental factors (including school environments and pressures) influence adolescent mental health.
- How it supports your thesis: WHO’s statement about onset during adolescence, plus recognition of school/social environments as influences, supports the idea that social expectations at school can trigger or worsen anxiety and depression.
If you want, I can:
- Find one or two peer-reviewed journal articles that directly measure the link between academic/social expectations and adolescent anxiety/depression (with full citations and short summaries), or
- Draft a short paragraph or thesis paragraph for your paper using these sources. Which would you prefer?
