    alright, you're probably not looking for it, but I'm gonna give some feedback:
    the data was rather hard to properly interpret using your way of displaying it. I understand you're going for a cool looking representation but here it's really detracting from the message. the numbers are percentual but you also include how many are in each group which makes it rather hard to track. Using the same colors for different data that changes rather rapidly also makes it rather hard to see what's going on.
    the only way I 'got' my information was by whatever you were saying, by the facts you recounted, not by the visual on the screen.
    prime example: "you can see that a HUGE portion of kids..." (4:05) I was taken very of guard, because it is almost impossible to interpret how big it is in comparison. percentually, looking at the colors, it's not that different from "no adverse experience", but then again the horizontal 'width" of the no adverse experience group is stretched meaning you can't make a good comparison. Then I saw that the middle group is way bigger and there it was even harder to gauge how the percentual numbers stacked up. The whole visual makes me (at first glance) think that there is barely a difference here, while you say otherwise!
    but yeah for the rest, cool vid idea, conceptually cool visuals. Feel free to ignore this critique, it's just my POV.

    • @BarelyConsciousPotato
      @BarelyConsciousPotato 2 месяца назад +19

      I'm a teenager and I was thinking I would adopt a child when I grow up, but I likely won't. I realized that a child isn't simply an accessory to add onto my life; they would be a giant part of my life. There would be an abundance of stressful and uncomfortable situations where they would be relying on me and I would have to be "the adult," I would be responsible for their safety, and mistakes I make could have a lifelong affect on them. When I go home, they would always be there, sacrificing privacy and alone time. I might not want to dedicate that much time and effort to a child, and I wouldn't want to put one in a situation where they're being neglected or feeling unwanted. I think it may be better if I just get married and focus on my husband, maybe do some charity work or help out at my church, and spend time making art. Or who knows, maybe I'll change my mind.

      Well if what you're saying is that some kids with childhood trauma grow up to be "successful", yeah, they might. But the point is that childhood trauma can have a negative impacts on your "success", or more accurately, your mental health and development which can translate to worse outcomes along the line. And a lot of kids who come traumatic backgrounds (especially true with immigrant households) may have been pressured to perform well in school, others may have done well in school to escape their backgrounds etc etc. And it's important to understand that financial/educational success does not equate with the quality of someone's life, which includes things that childhood trauma can affect such as mental health.

    The format is very nicely done. But it moves through the conclusions/commentary very quickly, you have to pause at each thing to confirm the diagram matches what he’s saying. And honestly it seems like sometimes it doesn’t. The box highlights certain intersections of groups and looks at just their size, rather than comparing their size to other relevant intersections to establish a baseline.
    Rough example, it’s the difference between pointing out that many people with many adverse experiences have low income, and comparing the intersection of low income and many adversities with low income and some adversity, and low income and no adversity. And other ways to slice the data

    College being an intermediate between highschool and adulthood is so true though. I'm a freshman in college about to be sophmore and I feel like I'm still a kid but trying to act like an adult. I don't know how to explain it better than that, weird period. But honestly so much better than highschool though im ngl, done with that part of my life.

    As a retired HR and Training guy, I saw first-hand the "Alex's" and the social challenges they brings to a workplace. I actually had a young woman say that she loved work because it was where she was "safe" and sought overtime work to delay her inevitable trip back home. I never chose to have kids of my own. Too many examples of parenting failures around me growing up. We (as a species) NEED to do better if we CHOOSE to become parents!

    Great video, one critique though is that you use different row/lengths for each group. I understand the numbers are changing, but it makes it hard to visualize the data. Maybe have 3 fixed rows, instead of 2 for the 1st group, 4 for the 2nd, and 3 for the 3rd.

    I feel like it could use a little more exploration of the background research and statistics to support the idea that adverse childhood experiences are this most important step in the causal chain. I think it'd lend the argument credibility and selfishly, I love research and stats so it follows that I'd make such a demand.
    Nonetheless, kickass video. I may have just found a new favorite channel

    Nice video. Very professional looking and great narration.
    My only gripe is when you say which group "mostly" does or has something. The numbers are almost always higher for the middle group in every case you brought up.
    Sure, percentage wise, those that reported they experienced no adverse experiences/many adverse experiences, may have a higher chance for a given thing, but when you look at those numbers, the largest percentage of people in general are the ones who experienced some adverse events.
    This isn't a really a problem, I guess. I just think it could have been reworded a bit. Oh well, the general point is understood and that is what really matters after all.

    As a middle and high school teacher, I'm always bothered by how much adults blame kids for their own situations. Other teachers and parents, they are always saying kids have to take responsiblity, that they are "already grown up" and it's their fault when something goes wrong (this starts as soon as 11 or 12 years old, in my experience). And then we adults also control and micromanage every aspect of their lives. We control what they can and can't do and sometimes even force them into choosing a single option, and then we blame then when it all goes wrong. Even in households that have none of those "adverse experiences" you mention, they still have issues that can scar them. Perfectionists parents that ask too much from them, rich parents that are never in their home because they need to work 2 or 3 jobs to mantain their lifestyle, or their job keeps them travelling most of the time, exposition to higher class standards that makes them feel bad with themselves when they can't reach the stupidly high standards of the people that surround them.
    We adults fuck around too much with them like they are not real people, and then get angry at them when they don't consider themselves real people.
    We seriously need to stop.
    For me, it all starts in education. Most adults went through that experience when they were teenagers so they think that's the only way to treat a teenager.
    But a single parent or teacher can make a big change, IMO. If you interact with a teenager, just talk to them about this, give them the chance to choose, listen to them, tell them that yeah, you also went through that and you also think it's bullshit and SHOW them that it is possible to be treated differently by an adult. That teenager will grow, and become an adult that doesn't replicate the cycle with the teenagers in their life. It's a slow process, but it's the only way.

    btw this video tries to imply that childhood adverse experiences are the primary cause economic hardship, which is not something you can say from a corrolational study. It could just as well be that the economic hardship of the parents (or some other common factor) causes economic hardship for the child and adverse experiences are just a side effect.

    Also, while I was whatching this I thought that it would be so interesting to see how neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, dyslexia and others) affect us in the long term run. I am a 25 year old autistic woman (also with ADHD) diagnosed last month and many of my friends are autistic, so I know that for us the chances of getting bullied are higher, or getting socially ostracized, for example. The academic performance also varies. In my case, my special interests related to science and art and sociology helped me retain the information I was asked to know, but when executive functioning was required (planning ahead, doing homework, study in advance) I failed. Not every neurodivergent person is the same, but for many of us, we were considered "gifted" because school was easy for us, but as we get older and more consistency and work is required, the grades start to falter and people get dissapointed becuase "you were so smart. And we, whom have been reliant on or academic performance in a way to get approval, because maybe we were not popular or not liked, end up feeling like we're good for nothing, and that ends up hurting our career prospects, future and mental health...

    I liked the video, consider adding percent's instead of visually showing sizes like that with the boxes, also consider adding onto what exactly these people gave data for, its a bit subjective and my big curiosity was "what are some more adverse experiences that would land you on that list" ,and "what other factors effect that family risk score". Knowing how subjective some things are that would be nice to know, and I assume many watching dont want to go and read the referenced pdf for that info. Also consider making it closer to 10min I heard you get better ad revenue money and engagement.

    The data visualization with the human figures is visually pleasing but statistically ambiguous. I found it hard to gather from a glance the proportion of each group in each data category. This is because the adverse experience groups were all of different size, so looking at absolute numbers doesn't give a complete comparison. I think including the actual percentage breakdowns for each group in addition to the shown visuals would have been a useful addition.

    I can see others have commented the same and I do want to say I respect and value the artistic effort put into the video, but the visual form of the data presentation was extremely difficult to follow. At first I thought oh this is neat they have little animations, but by the time I was halfway through I had given up on trying to interpret the ratios of groups with all the rapid movement and lack of text presentation to match. And to be clear I don't think it's just the movement and colors, I think the formatting/presentation of the groups and trying to represent outcomes in other categories, with the presentation of rows of tallies with some each grouping having a different number of rows, is very tough to visually digest.

    First great video and very interesting stats! Nice way to quantify this stuff which we could already kind of see but never had a clear view of! I enjoyed it and the format of storytelling was great for it! Thanks Alex!
    Second and on that note I think part of the video could have been made clearer as we went forward in years but never checked in with average or Alex age. I was confused on first watch that I thought Alex was born 1997 and on second watch I fixed my own mistake but still found it hard to follow what stage of life the kids were at. I originally thought this was going through elementary all the way to college. A grade or age indicator would REALLY help quantify and make the information more relatable to people watching in that oh wow that was in their 8th grade? What was my life like in 8th grade? Which group was I in? I think this would add a ton of significance and reflection for the viewer giving more significance to the viewer and more of a fondness for this video! I love stats and do that stuff myself but most wouldn't until prompted and those videos tend to be the ones that stick in people's minds after the stats and numbers fade away!
    Anyways great video again showing what factors affect kids and how drastically their childhood matters and likely why current generation kids have been struggling as their families and policies around them have been. Well done!
