News is all around us. People get news from almost everywhere. According to a recent
study, 60% of people read news on their smartphones, while 30% watch news on TV, 40% of
them read news at least once an hour, and 20% read newspapers every morning. Young people
like to share and talk about news on social media(社交媒体). It's normal to feel a little upset
when you see stories that seem worrying. There are things you can do to help with your feelings.
It's fun to learn about good stories, but bad news happens too. For example, reports about
climate change can make you feel upset."Bad news isn't nice to hear," says Dr Aaron Balick."It
is normal to feel worried about these things." Studies also show that we remember bad news
more easily and clearly. This is called "negative bias" and scientists say people have it because
it's a very old way to keep us safe and away from danger.
If you're worried about a story you've seen on social media, for example, ask your parents
or teachers to help you find out if it's true. Another way to deal with bad news is to put your
worry into action. If you find stories about climate change upset, believe that you can help.
Everyone can do something to make our world a better place. Also,"Don't keep your feelings to
yourself", says Balick. Talk to someone you trust, because this may help you understand where
your feelings come from and why you feel this way.
