Madrid / One out of every three Spanish teenagers feels insecure about their ability to fit into this world and one in two believes that women suffer more discrimination and inequality.
These are some of the results of a survey carried out by the NGO Aldeas Infantiles within the framework of its values education program, “Párate a pensar”.
The survey also draws a profile of adolescents in which they recognize themselves as cheerful, rebellious, impatient and insecure.
Very few are related to values such as patience, sacrifice, perseverance, altruism or generosity, although friendship, creativity when solving problems and intelligence are the three superpowers for them.
In addition, a third of the 2,128 respondents from all the Spanish autonomous communities recognizes that what they say is still important to them and only 21% says that they do not care what others think.
Teenagers are quite confident and 52% of them says they know themselves quite well, according to the study.
37% says that violence against women is the most serious social problem facing society, followed by hunger in the world (23%), refugees fleeing armed conflicts (18%) and “bullying” “(9%).
Regarding bullying at school, 64% of students agree that self-esteem must be encouraged from a young age and that no one should feel superior.
They also point out the importance of offering more psychological attention to victims and stalkers (30%), of showing support to the victims (26%) and of punishing the stalkers (24%)
