Israeli teens are the third happiest group of adolescents in the
world, according to the findings of the Happiness Index, the results
of which will be released later this month by the World Health
Organization.
Israel tied for third place with Holland, Iceland and Spain, being
outranked only by Armenian and Macedonian kids.
The study showed that 51% of Israeli girls reported being happy,
compared to 47% of boys. Israeli Arabs were even happier than their
Jewish counterparts, with 55% of girls and 47% of boys saying they are
happy.
Ironically, Israeli teens also ranked as the fifth angriest group of
adolescents in the world, ranking behind Turkey, Greece, Romania, and
Armenia.
Countries with the lowest happiness rankings are Turkey, Ukraine,
Poland, Latvia, and Canada.
The WHO research was compiled over four years and across 34 countries.
