The first report on the well-being of children in 21 western states shows marked divisions in education, health and sexual behaviour and drug-taking.

The Netherlands topped the well-being table compiled by the UN children's agency Unicef, with Scandinavian nations also performing well.

However the United Kingdom and United States fare much worse, taking the bottom two places in the table.

1. Netherlands
2. Sweden
3. Denmark
4. Finland
5. Spain
6. Switzerland
7. Norway
8. Italy
9. Republic of Ireland
10. Belgium
11. Germany
12. Canada
13. Greece
14. Poland
15. Czech Republic
16. France
17. Portugal
18. Austria
19. Hungary
20. United States
21. United Kingdom


They say that the wealth of a nation is no indicator of how well a child feels.

Well well, it seems that the US failed again.

More US-bashing, Spurious??

Is that something that you enjoy for some reason? If so, why? Perhaps it's something that you should see a psychiatrist about, huh? Obsession is often the sign of something wrong inside a person.

...obsession is there as a justification that the person is trying to get some sort of point across and people don't seem to understand or that the person does not seem to understand that other people might indeed understand the situation but never the less...

Wait wait wait.

Having sex as a teenager is held to make one UNHAPPY?

I didn't do the study. Don't bash the messenger. Although you people show a great obsession in defending the US and bashing the messengers of bad news.

There must be something psychologically wrong with you people according to yourselves.

Wait wait wait.

Well the study is about well-being.

The UK certainly has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.
