What is your opinion on all of this?What are the top ten issues facing teenagers today?
I think it's mainly pressure. Pressure to:

鈥it in/at least be liked


鈥rink/smoke/drugs


鈥ick a side (for divorce or with friends)


鈥ot let people down

And many moreWhat are the top ten issues facing teenagers today?
Depression -


Some cases it can be serious, but most are post-teen drama.





Insomnia -


Well, you can take medicine for that.





Stress -


Tests, schoolwork, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends..





Drugs -


Broadcasted everywhere, you have to make the decision yourself.





Alcohol -


Every teenager has had some alcohol, it's just part of the age group, it's been happening for generations.





Sex -


''i've had sex''


''i haven't''


''oh, you're such a loser''


end of.





Wanting to fit in -


Major thing, with all those ''cliques''.





Divorce -


Traumatic, not very nice to go through.





Seperated home -


Constant movement in household, not very good for settling down.





For me it's :





Stress.


Alcohol.


- and sexual BEHAVIOUR, NOT sex.
Depression, wanting to fit in, and stress are the top 3 i think, bullying should be there too. Drugs Alcohol and Sex are more in with the older teen population. Separated home/ parents going through a divorce isn't that big i don't think, not in the top 10 anyway.
Girls (and guys too, but not as much) see retouched, edited photos of women and think that they should look like that. They decide that because they don't look like some fake image, that they are ugly and fat. This is a huge issue, especially for young teenage girls.
