teens are under a lot of pressure to have sex, unprotected sex
Pressure to do drugs, drink, smoke.. You know, do this to be cool, do that to fit in..
There are also many gangs now and thats a big issue with teens, just simply trying to lead a good life and stay out of harms way..
Teens today are expected to be far more advanced technologicly than we were in my days.. computers , advanced math and so forth
Teens seem to be expected to be more mature these days also, they are expected to work and go to school, buy their own cars etc..
also these days with more single parent homes or both parents working teens are expected to more in the home.. cooking, laundry , babysitting and so forth..
Teens are growing up to fast these days, and not by choice really it is just the demands society and peers put on you..Its like your just not allowed to be a teenager anymore and have fun..
Also preditors that thrive on teens who are alone alot which most are now.. especialy on the internet..
date drugs are a big issue now as well.. you can't even go to a party really without worrying that someone may slip something in your drink
Hope this helps some

Teens today face problems such as they way they LOOK which leads to FITTING IN then the SOCIAL LIFE.
I used the word "Problems" instead of challenges for the reason being that we don't call them challenges as we refer them to problems via like as missions, etc.
Teens try to use looks to fit in, in which gets others to make fun of that particular person, (usually) including gaurdians get concerned wit what their getting into and which can lead the teen into suicide from depression.
Not fitting in can also lead into the depression and feel left out and antisocial.
Thats my indurance of my self life, but now I'm the most popular guy pretty much anywhere I go
I fit into any crowd and it's impossible not to love me'
I should know, I had to go through all this
