📚 Part 2: Non-Fiction Comprehension

Read the following extract from a newspaper article:

"The digital revolution has transformed the way teenagers communicate, learn, and socialise. However, beneath the glossy surface of endless connectivity lies a troubling reality. Mental health statistics reveal a sharp increase in anxiety and depression among 13-18 year olds since 2010—the same period that witnessed the explosive growth of social media platforms.

Dr Sarah Mitchell, a leading adolescent psychologist, argues that 'the constant pressure to curate a perfect online persona is exhausting young minds.' The relentless cycle of posting, comparing, and seeking validation has created what she terms a 'digital hamster wheel' from which many teenagers struggle to escape. Yet technology isn't entirely villainous; educational apps and online resources have democratised learning, providing opportunities that previous generations could never have imagined."
