READING:

A British survey says a third of young, unemployed people often "fall apart". They are stressed and cannot control their feelings. They cannot live a "normal" life. The survey is from a charity that questioned 2,200 jobless people. Almost half the people stressed about everyday life and could not meet new people. Some were too stressed to leave the house. Thousands of young people feel like prisoners in their own homes and become socially isolated.

Many young people have problems with day-to-day life and getting a job. Britain's government said: "Our young people are some of the best and most talented in the world." A researcher added: "Young people are our future and it is important that we invest in them." One man explained how hard it was for him to have no job. He would wake up and couldn't leave the house. He stopped speaking to his friends. He had no confidence."
