As someone who researches generational differences, I find one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “What generation am I in?”

If you were born before 1980, that’s a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation______（91） born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979).

Next______（92） millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 today's 18-year-olds.

______（93）, that changed a few years ago, when I started to______（94） big shifts in teens’ behavior and______（95） in the yearly surveys of 11 million young people that I analyze for my research. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time______（96） differently from the generations that______（97） them. Then, around 2012, sudden shifts in their psychological well-being began to appear. Together, these changes pointed to a generational cutoff around 1995,______（98） meant that the kids of this new, post-millennial generation were already in college.

These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence______（99） with the rise of the smartphone.

A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone.______（100） this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood”，they’re the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone.

What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has______（101） nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time______（102） the internet,texting friends and on social media in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day that they have less leisure time for______（103） else.

That includes______（104） was once the favorite activity of most teens:______（105） with their friends. Whether ifs going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly______（106） around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a______（107） lower rate than their millennial predecessors.

iGen shows another pronounced break with millennials: Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot______（108） since 2012, with happiness declining.

The teen suicide rate increased______（109） more than 50 percent,______（110） did the number of teens with clinical-level depression.
