what do you feel is the most challenging issue facing teenagers today?

Answer 1

teenagers these days lack strong role models, therefore they are a listless bunch who don't feel like they need to support themselves. They readily throw away family like everyday trash, they think they know more than anyone else walking on the face of the earth, and they have no respect for hard work, or their elders.

Answer 2

There isn't just one. we have our hands full with everyday life, just like every other working american, we have school, with each teacher giving hw as if they are our only class and we have no life at all, and that does not work all that well when you have some 8 or 9 teachers. Then you have all the extra curriculum that you want to try and do, and those are usually a small enjoyable moment that is gone too quickly, but is still challenging. We get home and we have our parents to deal with,and we have to find out wether or not they have had a good or bad day (whether we want to hear the story or not), and then if we ever come through the door with any sort of an attitude from having a bad day, we have to hear about how hard it is to be an adult and how easy it is to be our age YEAH, RIGHT! they judge us, even though they never know the full story. Then you have people that are making their own accusations of us and what we are like, saying things like we are all bad, dramatic, uneducated, and think we know everything, or that we are all always getting into trouble. That's not true though, i have my own mind, and beliefs, and yes some of those were "planted" by my parents, i let them blossom and bloom on my own. But nobody sees or cares to see those things. So if i have to pick a "most challenging" i would have to say adults not trusting us. Not us, not our opinions, not us at all in general. and that's just not fair, but hey, i guess that's life, but that would be my answer to your question, if you could get adults (aka older people) to just trust us, they would see that a lot of stuff would change, but they just don't give us that chance, and i can only hope that i don't turn that way when i am older.

Hello Jennifer. This question hints of you thinking of ending the life you have. Don't! Life is a number of events that start within the womb at conception. Being that close to your mom you learn to be dependant on other people after birth. The the next five years are a moment of slow growth and at five, you touch the first povit point. The child is left behind and you grow more independant yet still attached to the parents who control you. Twelve is the next povit age and you chalenge what parents and teachers tell you, you hate guys and you know what you like in people and of course, you have your best girlfriend who has parents like you who are totally different. Fifteen is the nect povit age and guys seem to be okay. Though they want to give you something they have which your body design failed to have. You are a girl and therefore, are life orientated whereas, guys, they are sex orientated and want to claim the moent of knowing you while you want them to treat you like your girlfriend does. Guys are basic whereasm girls live life and when a guys comes into your life with that feminen magic, you hit it off. Now being a teenager the biggest challenges I see is being accepted by other people. Mom accepted you at conception than after birth and not, well she sees you moving into the future and her roll as mother coming to an end. This causes her to be frustrated and maybe crany and snappy. That says you can't talk to her, well it really says is that she would love to sit down and talk to you about what you are doing as a teen, it's been a long time since she was a teen doing what you are doing. Know that a secret about life is. What you think-is. What you think about yourself is what you make in the future for yourself. Feel sad and alone and that is what you will get in the future. Feel good and happy about your self and that is what will be waiting for you in the future. The biggest challenge facing you is not having someone how you cansit down with a talk about the millionquestions you want answers to and not be made to feel you are dumb because you don't know the answers. Hety you're a teen and growing towards learning those answers and that comes from asking people the question to get the answers. If you going to a shop you have to expresswhat you want, the guy over the counter hasn't got a clue apart that your there because you want something. Same deal with oldies, ask them and take in the answers then sort out the meanings and ask again until you get the right information. If an oldies gives it to you straight then it truthful, is they search for an answer then they don't have a clue. Hop can you sing a song if you don't know the words? The important thing Jennifer to remember, is that you wre born a girl and therefore, are a different species of human life than the male species and are in tune with living life. Be sure of yourself and confident that you are a powerful form of human life. Like yourself and your exuallity and you will like being a part of the many other forms of life living here as you are. Enjoy. Hope I've helped you Teema.

Answer 4

As a teeneger myself and seeing things myself and others my age go through i would say, Sex, popularity, drugs, money, high expectations, family issues, alcohol and the "need" to have a boyfriend/girlfriend to feel wanted, loved and worthwhile.

Answer 5

I personally think it is teenagers thinking they need to grow up so fast. I feel that is the root of every other thing that teens get mixed up in. Teens feel "mature" enough to have sex, but then they are not mature enough to care for a child when one gets pregnant. They also don't weigh the consequences of their actions anymore.

Well, that's what I think.

Answer 6

Loadsa things.....
Peer pressure: The pressure to look cool in front of their friends.... In order to look cool and have friends they have 2 smoke, drink... (even if they don't want 2), take drugs.... have sex..... look skinny..... party all night..... We don't have 2 struggle.... coz our parents give us all we need.... All this leads a teen 2 Rehab...

Answer 7

Peer pressure, and media pressure to live life following others instead of living life for themselves.

Answer 8

since I am still one myself I must say that on these ages the most challenging issue is ourselves, this is the time to ask questions about who we are, what we want, whther we achieved all that or not, and compromising/rebelling this to our parents.

Its the age where you stand in your dreams with one foot and in reality with the other ones.

Answer 9

definitely peer pressure. also, trying to live up to everybody else's standards. most importantly i would say excepting guidance for at there age they have all the answers.
