'stranger danger' seems more prevalent today.
'immorality' - too much exposure to negative behaviors being presented, thanks to vast media availability. Seems immoral practices are being instilled within today's youth.

The problems in every generation is the same of huge ramification. However, in past generations, family was more involved with each other and therefore children had a soft place to land where there were problems. Now days it seems that parents are too busy to make the big bucks or just surviving with the divorce rate high and parents have to work long hours to provide. Children it seems do not have any drive to achieve something because the parents do everything for them and they feed the frenzy the media has projected for success with "things". To me, the lack from parental involvement and a weird view of the world from the media is the biggest problem for youth. To feel safe is one of the biggest need for youth and if that is not available, other substitues will breed problems. There will always be problems but if there is an anchor there to get you through it that is more important.

PRIDE
Most people at their youth age they turn to have pride just because of what they have which can lead to no one being interested in helping someone like that in any way

Every generation has their own set of issues, but in my life, I think I've seen some of the worst challenges come to pass:
I went through Camelot, Vietnam, Segregation, Assassinations, Watergate, etc, but today, they have their own "versions" of these same kinds of things- only on a more global scale, with the information highway making it possible to take it to another level. I used to not want to be me; now, I wouldn't want to be you.

Immorality in the society in media, the culture and friends are the biggest problems. Teachers that have been programmed by atheists with a communist agenda in the teaching universities confuse young people.
