A lot
Matthew 24:4-14:says
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
solutions... well have Jesus in our heart he'll guide us........

I think some of the pressures on Christian teens are the same pressures there were in every human being's life., The sticter the household, the more 'pressure". It depends on how much you want to let your kid live and how much control you are able to exercise over them. All teens had sex--just about. They don't want you to know that because they don't want you to do it. It has always been exactly the same . EXACTLY, and the crap about drugs. it was always there, just an exchange of one drug for the other. Things only become a "problem" when more pressure is applied, like say the 70's, where 78% of the kids smoked weed in high school as opposed to the 40's , where probably 78% of them drank and 90% of them smoked cigarettes, it was just that those particular drugs were allowed, so this was a "golden' age , where no one did anything wrong.
When a 16 yr old girl got knocked up back then, she got MARRIED. or went away for a while, gave it up for adoption or the mom raised it as her own,.
Teen "issues" have ALWAYS been the same.

The problem facing teens today is a lack of good parenting. I see teens saying mean things to their parents.

The problem I've seen,swearing, is not the biggest or most important, but more of a gateway. It is so easy to pick up when you're around people who swear, and so hard to break afterward. And once you've made that compromise in order to "fit in", it becomes so much easier to give in to other kinds of sins, just to feel that sense of belonging.

i think that teens should realize that thier parents are not as wise as they think they are.
Do not believe something simply because you have heard it. Do not believe anything simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders, or wise men. Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all. Then accept it, and live up to it.

I would say the problem is that today's teens are educated and intelligent - we need to ban schooling, or at least make it revolve around the science of "Intelligent Design"

One I've heard of is sex. I know one girl who doesnt want to have it until she's married, but everyone cant believe she's a vigin. She just stays true to god and what she believes in
