So you're between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy?...Turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question...
While most young people are happy overall with the way their lives are going, there are racial differences: the poll shows whites to be happier, across economic categories, than blacks and Hispanics.

Gee, do you think there is a correlation between the lack of happiness and the near complete breakdown of the nuclear family in the Black and Hispanic social communities?

No doubt. It’s perfectly possibe to be poor and happy. With a loving family around you and a belief in yourself, who cares? Especially as a kid. Go out and play in a pond or in the creek.

But with the disintegration of the family, well...
