BRITISH teenagers believe their generation will have a worse life than their parents, according to a new poll.

Money, jobs and climate change were named among the concerns of 1,001 teenagers aged 14 to 17 who were questioned by YouGov for children’s charity Barnardo’s.

When asked to imagine their lives at the age of 30, 55 per cent said that they believed their lives would be worse than those of the previous generation, while another 34 per cent thought that the next generation of children would not be any better off.
