According to a new survey in 2023, kids and teenagers who volunteer aren't just helping their community. They might also be helping themselves. It is said that volunteering through school community groups will do good to the health of kids.
What the survey shows Experts asked questions among the parents of about 50,000 kid aged 6 to 17 in the United States and found that kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely to be in very good physical(身体的)health than those who didn't. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 2.5% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑)than those who didn't.
What the result shows The result may have something useful to do with the youth mental
(精神的)health. In recent years,depression(抑郁)and anxiety are becoming more popular among young people. For example,more than 40% of high school students were reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2023. One possible way to deal with this may be volunteering in the community.
Why volunteering works Other researches have also found the connections between volunteering and well-being among kids and teenagers. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. In this way, they feel close to those around them, and it makes them happier and healthier.
However, experts also point out that it's not possible to say for sure that volunteering makes better mental and physical health. It could be that when kids and teenagers take part in volunteering work, they get out of themselves and relax for a while, which has some active influence(影响)on both the mental and physical health.
A new survey shows that volunteering makes kids 56
The 57 of the survey > It found kids who 58 in community service or volunteered were more likely to be healthy than those who didn't. Kids aged 12 and older were 59 likely to be anxious if they didn't volunteer.
The meaning of the result > The result may be useful to do with the mental health problem of 60 people, such as depression and anxiety. > Volunteering in the community may improve the 61 .
Why volunteering is 62 > Doing community service may make people feel a sense of purpose and that they are 63 to people around them. It will make them happy and healthy. > It's 64 to say for sure that volunteering makes better mental and physical health. Kids may feel free and 65 when volunteering, which is good for their health.

family members came to visit him. They brought him fresh flowers each day. Then something wonderful happened.Martin's condition started to improve, and he looked towards the future with more hope.
Martin soon realized that other patients around him weren't receiving the same kind of emotional(情感上的)support. This inspired him to go from room to room, giving away his flowers to them. The results were amazing. He watched people's misery turn into happiness.
After leaving the hospital,Martin couldn't forget the power of his flowers. Six months later, to help more people, he started a project called the Simple Sunflower Project. He collected used flowers from some events like weddings(婚礼)and then the flowers were given to people in the hospitals and the old people's homes. In the first year, the project served no more than 100 people. But in the following 10 years, it gave away flowers to nearly 30,000 people.
Many studies have found that fresh flowers as well as plants are good for people's health. To test the result, the University of Tennessee Medical Centre did a study on the Simple Sunflower Project. Almost 95% of the patients who had received flowers had an improvement in their emotional condition. When staying in the hospital, people felt not as comfortable as at home, but the Simple Sunflower Project helped them in some ways. Flowers could make them less stressed and less painful. Patients with flowers had shorter hospital stays as well. Flowers make a great difference.

According to a new survey in 2023, kids and teenagers who volunteer aren't just helping their community. They might also be helping themselves. It is said that volunteering through school community groups will do good to the health of kids.
What the survey shows Experts asked questions among the parents of about 50,000 kid aged 6 to 17 in the United States and found that kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely to be in very good physical(身体的)health than those who didn't. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 2.5% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑)than those who didn't.
What the result shows The result may have something useful to do with the youth mental
(精神的)health. In recent years,depression(抑郁)and anxiety are becoming more popular among young people. For example,more than 40% of high school students were reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2023. One possible way to deal with this may be volunteering in the community.
Why volunteering works Other researches have also found the connections between volunteering and well-being among kids and teenagers. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. In this way, they feel close to those around them, and it makes them happier and healthier.
