If you were born before 1980, that’s a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation (91) born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979).
Next (92) millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 today's 18-year-olds.
(93), that changed a few years ago, when I started to (94) big shifts in teens’ behavior and (95) in the yearly surveys of 11 million young people that I analyze for my research. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time (96) differently from the generations that (97) them. Then, around 2012, sudden shifts in their psychological well-being began to appear. Together, these changes pointed to a generational cutoff around 1995, (98) meant that the kids of this new, post-millennial generation were already in college.
These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence (99) with the rise of the smartphone.
A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone. (100) this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood”，they’re the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone.
What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has (101) nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time (102) the internet,texting friends and on social media in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day that they have less leisure time for (103) else.
That includes (104) was once the favorite activity of most teens: (105) with their friends. Whether ifs going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly (106) around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a (107) lower rate than their millennial predecessors.
iGen shows another pronounced break with millennials: Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot (108) since 2012, with happiness declining.
The teen suicide rate increased (109) more than 50 percent, (110) did the number of teens with clinical-level depression.
