A new survey in Britain says a third of young, unemployed people regularly "fall apart". They are so stressed that they cannot control their emotions. They have problems living a "normal" life. The survey is from a youth charity. Its researchers questioned 2,200 jobless people. Almost half said they were often stressed about everyday life. They tried not to meet new people. One in eight people said they were too stressed to leave the house. The charity said: "Thousands of young people feel like prisoners in their own homes…these young people become socially isolated."

Many young people struggle with day-to-day life. They find it more difficult to get a job. Britain's Employment Minister said: "Our young people are some of the best and most talented in the world." She said it was important to try and find them the right jobs. Researcher David Fass added: "Young people are our future and it is important that we invest in them…to reach their full potential." Jack, 25, explained how hard it was for him to be unemployed. He said: "I would wake up and wouldn't want to leave the house. I stopped speaking to my friends and I had absolutely no confidence."
