Answer 1

female (15 years old) CA

underage drinking
i think teenagers are stuck inbetween being kids and adults. they think drinking will make them look cool/feel older. for some, they use alcohol and drugs to numb them from problems theyre facing.

anorexia in young girls
i think it is very sad. it hits close to home so i can say that girls dont always develop an eating disorder as a way to look better, but more a way to cope with problems they dont know how to another way

peer pressure
i think, in junior high and high school especially, teens feel an immense pressure to fit in and find themselves

high school hiearchy
there are too many cliques and groups these days. its far off but it would be nice to break down some of the barriers there

child abuse and neglect
it is awful. there is not much more to say. im a victim. i know i wont continue the horrible cycle.

the affect of divorce on teens
i think many teens rebel and spend less time at home. its a confusing time for them


((sorry i went over on some)) Good luck with your study! :)

Trolls, according to the standard web definition, are people who come on discussion sites, forums, etc. for the sole purpose of posting inflammatory remarks and inciting people into angry statements, just for fun. Here at Y!A, it also includes people who randomly or consistently give people "thumbs-down" for no reason, or report abuse for no real reason, etc.

Not enough emphasis put on the spiritual well being, it's all for the here and now. What's on your back, what do you drive , where do you live and how much money do you have?. This is pretty much parenting now.

problems teens face
They are unprepared for problem solving

underage drinking
It's monkey see monkey do/parents

anorexia in young girls
a pathetic way to take control of yourself, goes back to unprepared to problem solve.

peer pressure
The name is coined parents and teen to avoid the responsibility of parenting and for being accountable for ones self

high school "hiearchy" (cliques)

child abuse/neglect
someone who has never know the effect of having hugs on a daily basis become abusers and neglecters

One again unprepared............

I knew about my hugs everyday!

I feel like my problems could lead me to suicide in later years.
Underaged drinking is stupid.
They must have gotten it from their mothers.
Peer pressure is made out to be more than it really is.
Cliques are good sometimes: you have friends. Other times, bad.
Why aren't states harsher on this?
Teens need two parents all the time to live good lives.
