Young 'cannot cope with daily life' 2 January 2013 Last updated at 03:50 One in 10 young people feel they cannot cope with day-to-day life - with those not in work, education or training more than twice as likely to feel this way - according to a Prince's Trust survey. The report, called The Youth Index, questioned more than 2,000 16 to 25-year-olds. It found 22% did not have someone to talk to about their problems. Last year, it found 52% of so-called NEETs said they "often" or "always" felt depressed. This year, the figure fell slightly - it found that while 27% of young people in work feel down or depressed "always" or "often," while the figure is 48% among NEETs 9those not in education, employment or training). The index gauges young people's happiness across a range of areas, from family life to physical and mental health. Despite the pressures many are facing, it shows relatively slight changes in overall confidence and happiness amongst young people, says BBC social affairs correspondent Alison Holt. Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince's Trust, said: "A frightening number of unemployed young people feel unable to cope - and it is particularly tough for those who don't have a support network in place. We know at The Prince's Trust that it is often those from the most vulnerable backgrounds who end up furthest from the job market. Life can become a demoralising downward spiral - from a challenging childhood into life as a jobless adult. But, with the right support, we can help get these lives on track.
