I think some problems some teens face today is fighting with their parents. I always fight with my mom and I’m losing my relationship with her. Sometimes I lie to my mother and lose her trust. Some of my friend’s parents kick them out of the house for a while and don’t want them to come back. That happened with a couple times and I want to stop fighting with my mom. I want her to trust me and to have a better relationship with her.

I think the biggest problem that teens have today is stress from school and how they have to work on stuff they might not even know. So it would be hard to do work that you don’t even know how to do. If i was forced to do work that was to hard i would start to stress over passing my grade and moving on to the next grade. Personally I wouldn’t want to get stuck back in the same grade.

The biggest problem amongst teens are drugs. They give into peer pressure, and some just think it’s cool. I don’t think it’s cool to kill your brain cells. Or to mess with your body until you’re a creep who lives in a motel and fights with your spouse all day. That’s not who most teens want to grow up, but if they keep doing drugs that is how they could end up. There is no bigger problem amongst teens.

I think the biggest problems that teens face today are drugs. Teens are put into peer pressure and “Bribed” to do marijuana and other drugs. That causes teens to get addicted and start fights involving drug distributions or gangs.

I think the biggest problem facing teens today is stress.
I think this is a problem because teens have so much to do.
There’s homework, school, parents, friends, and sports.
Some solutions are talking to parents and getting along with them.
Do homework first and then friends, so that way school isn't such a
struggle and is out of your way. Also put friends after sports. Or do sports with friends.

The biggest problem teens face today is pure pressure. Pure pressure is not easy thing to withstand at our age. It is hard to face because most teens are afraid of being left out so they feel if friend does something they must also do it. Drugs is another horrid thing that not only teens face but adults to. The thing with drugs is that once you do it it is very challenging to stop. It is also in line with pure pressure. If you see your friends doing it and they ask you if you want any you want to say no but your afraid if you do they will laugh.

I think that one of the most problems teens are facing is doing drugs. Some people do drugs because of peer pressure, or attention, even cause they’re not getting attention from their parents. Some people even think it’s cool so they decide to do it with their friends cause all their friends do it and they make fun of you because, you won’t do it so you decide to do it with then so they’ll stop teasing you. Then everyone makes fun of you cause they can boss you around cause they found out that your not good under peer pressure so they talk you into doing more drugs like heroine, weed, also crack. So if they know you don’t then your going to get in trouble if your not good under peer pressure.

275 I think the biggest problem that teens face today is school because for some kids the work is getting hard for them. Also for some it is hard for them to do homework and turn it on time. It is also harder for them to learn new things about the subjects in school. Another biggest problem that teens face today is getting tease by other people. The tease at school or at home.

224 I think one of the big problems facing teens today is bad grades. If people have bad grades they can’t get in to the college they want or they can’t get into college. If they have bad grades they have to get like a hard job. These are like a bus driver or factory worker with low pay. Sometimes people drop out of school because they don’t care anymore. If they keep getting go grades their life would be easy and have more money. They can get in to the college they want. This is one of the big problems facing teens.

Hey #285 I get what your saying about that teens get stressed over school and doing things at school that they don't even know. I go through that same problem and wish that the teachers would give us more help with the stuff we don't know.

One problem teens face today is peer pressure. Teens who don’t have any friends are usually the victims to their peers. They sometimes don’t get any attention, that can be the reason. One thing to do is find someone that is like them and be their friend. That is probably the worst thing teens face today.

#239 I feel the biggest problem facing teens today is drugs and sex!I think its such a problem because teens are facing peer pressure and hormones! Some solutions could be to have a lot of teens who feel there ready need to meet the teens who already did it and have a hard time dealing with what they did!

I agree with you 224, because bad grades can make a person have low self-esteem and it also makes them flunk college, so they can't get a decent job.

215 I like how you added how not getting attention from parents plays a part in peer pressure. It really does, how much attention your parents pay to you really plays a big part. If your neglected then you may think your parents don't care so you can get with anything which in most cases is true.

#213 I'm sorry that you fight with your mom,but i totally agree with you.Most of my friends including me sometimes lie to their parents and that makes your parent lose trust for you.I see all the time my friends and their parents fighting with their parents, including me.....We don't do it on purpose it's just sometimes little small things build up and then one day you just explode on anyone including your parents!!

I think the big problems facing teens today is that more teens have been smoking,drinking etc. I believe that the solution to this is to tell them what will happen to there bodies when they do that as a young teen. Actually show pictures of a liver that has been destroyed by drinking. A different problem facing teens today is that more teens are having sex. Because of all the hormones going on in there bodies right now. They also are getting pressured by other people.

226 i like how you added the part about killing brain cells and also how you said some think its just cool when its not and i hope none think that. However, in the end of your post you said it was the biggest problem with teens but i don't believe thats true. I mean think about it, what is worse the drug itself or the thing that influences the drug?

213 i agree with you. Parents do give teens at least half of their stress. Most teens dont get along with their parents that well. So yes parents do cause teen problems.

I think the biggest problem with teens today is drugs. Weed,cigarets,meth,ad etc.
Drugs in my mind is probably the number 1 killer in America. Teens especially I see more teens smoking than adults. My brothers one of them i know its bad for you. I even have friends in this school and every other one I went to that smoke weed at my age, younger,and older crazy I know. Meth is even one of the drugs kids do know a day.
Meth isn’t like weed meth get you hooked on it the first time drugs aren’t good for no one . Some solutions for it if you’re kid does drugs smack him/her and show them how bad it can mess you up. Maybe tell them a story about what it does if you don’t have a true story make one any thing to show them the bad ways of drugs.

I think that the biggest problem the teens have is that they don’t have the ages to be smoking and drinking alcohol and they are doing it. There is an other problem too, that the teens are almost every day fighting with their parents because of the alcohol. I think is a very big problem because the other teens think they are cool and they start smoking, drinking alcohol and they start fighting with their parents too. One solution I thought it was that the people that have the ages to smoke and to drink alcohol don’t do it by the teens.

I biggest problem that teens facing that a lot of kids are using drugs because a lot they what to look cool for there friends and is make them stupid and then that is making them skip school. There are a lot of kids that are drinking and they are drinking and driving too then they will go to jail. Another problem is that they are not respecting there family and run away or do something stupid. Some kid have a lot of stress of school like if you have some bad grade. Another thing kids lie to there mom and dad so then thats the parents lose trust in the kid.

The biggest problem teens are facing I think is drugs. I think teens do it because they under pressure. They also do it because they think its cool or will make them popular. They also do it to make their stress go away and other reasons. Thats what I think the biggest problem teens are facing today.

hi #226 I agree that most teens do drugs and I don't really think it's cool at all. My mom always told me was if your friends wants you to do drugs there not really your friends at all. Your brain is still growing and you could really mess up your head. I agree with you very much.

i agree 276. Teens just think their so cool when they smoke and drink. They just don't understand that it is very very bad for you.

277 this is 206 i agree with what you say. To many teens are having sex but its not always their fault sometimes it may be they're friends fault for peer pressuring them into having sex saying"its fun you'll have a great time" you know. And the drugs I wrote about the same thing so I know what your talking about. Peace!

i think that the biggest problem that teens face is school. i think this way because there’s a lot of teenagers that think its cool to ditch school with there friends and go do stupid things like drugs,and drink,and pills. Also, there’s probably really good teenager's that would never think that they would do anything stupid like that and sometimes its their friends. I think this is such a problem because there now making shows about drugs and meth on t.v. Also, this wouldn’t be the biggest problem that teen face if teens would just stay away from drugs. i think that the only solutions to fix this problem is by staying away from drugs, alcohol,and pills.
