Teens' Understanding of Success
A Gallup Youth Survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 439 respondents aged 13 to 17. According to the survey, American teenagers don't necessarily equate fame and money with success. When teens were asked in an open-ended question to define what makes someone successful in life, 15 percent of all teens surveyed say happiness and satisfaction. While happiness is the best measure of success for many teens, 1 in 10 respondents (10 percent) feel that fulfilling one's goals is one way to achieve success. A similar percentage, 9 percent of teens, equate having a good job with success. Other popular definitions of what it means to be successful include having a family and making money, which are mentioned by 6 percent of teens.
Teens do not see the elements of a successful life separately from each other. A job seems more relevant to success if one has a family and loved ones to share life with. Family, financial success, the value of hard work, and education are all repetitive themes that teens bring up in relation to living a successful life. In teens' minds, and probably most people's minds, the criteria for success are connected to one another.
