I feel that teens biggest problem would have to be their health with smoking and drinking. More and more teens are smoking and drinking. The smoking can cause lung cancer and it can be fatal. The drinking can cause liver failure.
Why I think that drinking is such a problem is because my mom works with some that is epileptic and he buys alcohol instead of his medicine and he has had more than 3 seizures at work. Why I think that smoking is such a problem is because my friends dad statrted smoking when he was a teen he got lung cancer from smoking and he passed away because of it. How we can fix teen drinking smoking is for parents to be much closer to their child and talk to them more about what would happen if they keep or start smoking or drinking. they should also tell stories that have happened in reality and to kind of scare them into not smoking and drinking. 717

I feel that tens today have tons of problems.There’s all ways family issues, grades, and peer pressure.It’s hard for teens to do every thing right when they feel like every thing is on them.Some teens just have every thing going on in their lives.
I think it’s such a problem because most teens are going through puberty so they just have a lot more of emotions.So i think they think that they have no one to depend on .Because they think no one else is going through what they are dealing with.
One thing to fix some of the issues is for there friends or family to let them understand that they are there for them no matter what.Also that they can help them through anything.

The biggest problem from my point of view is that teens face is EVERYTHING. We are going to start with SEX, oh my goodness the word sex giggle giggle.When people have been going out mainly it happens that one to the two would like to have sex. When the the other person says no and there partner is up-set because they said no. Al they want to do is make the other person happy, so they go with it. Then the next thing you know it everyone knows about how bad or good you are from your boyfriend or girlfriend told their friends and then it went around as a rummer would. Next thing you know you are in drama situations. Which brings me up to my net situation drama. I get it, it is hard to to stay away from drama but one main reason there is drama is because the girls have issues with others and they spread rummer’s around. Another one is imaturity, I know that we all need to grow up, can and for us to do that we need to clear our heads it is not that hard if you are some people. Another one is relationship it happens to all of us sooner or later and that even ties up to drama. Instead of getting drama started you could take more time hanging with friends, shopping whatever you want to do. Everything is a problem for us teens including myself and I don’t want to go through this everyday at school. I only know teachers that are mature here at Englewood Middle School.

One of the biggest problems facing teens today in my eyes is drugs. I think teens see drugs as a way to get away. It’s like if you had a bad day it’s just so much easier to go get high, and forget about everything. or if your having trouble at home most kids solutions are to go shoot up or smoke.
I think it’s such a big problem because nobody really cares any more. You get a few kids that will try their best in everything they do but the others failing doesn't matter because drugs are their there way out.
We can fix these problems by bringing awareness to them. Shoe them what it will do to their body’s. Show them what it will do to their life’s. Tell them that it is so much easier to work hard and do a job well done.

#707 I think the biggest problem for teens these days are there parents because they don’t let them go out or even hang out with there friends because they think they’re a bad influence. And also the fact that when you get into your teen years they only know the little boy/girl you were back then they don’t know the more mature and grown up side of you. And they think that one way is right and that way is the way they were taught but its not its 2010!. Like Mr. Obama said “ ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE!”.

I think one of the biggest problem teens face today is peer pressure. Students these days only want to fit in nobody wants to be an out cast. So to fit in students will do almost anything like drugs and things like that. This can be prevented but with something this big is not easy to overcome. My question is why can’t people just be themselves I now I am me and nobody can change me but that is my opinion. Peer pressure I think is the biggest problem teens face these days.

Teens have problems with self consciousness. Teens always pick at things they think are wrong with them; “I have a big nose”, “My eyes are too close together”, “I have frizzy hair” etc., etc.
They point fingers at themselves because they maybe see someone they envy, who they think is so much better than them, who doesn't? But what they don’t know is that most people around them don’t notice those “imperfect” things. Teens only notice what’s wrong with them because they look for problems!
We can fix this self criticism by giving out compliments, saying nice things to people, and then these teens will start to notice things that are really pretty cool about them; “Wow, i guess my eyes do have a pretty color”, “Gee, my hands really are pretty”, “Huh, my name is kind of pretty” and so on, and so on.

In my opinion the biggest problems with teens is school. Because school stresses you out with a lot of homework/grades/ and time it starts for me is the time it starts because i am not a morning person so i wake up late and i would like school to start around 1 and end like around 6. So we can be wide awake and be ready to start learning and not be trying to go to sleep or be whining that you forgot to eat in the morning or any excuses really. But what happens if you are an early person? Then there would be teacher in school so you can make your school schedule for a month or two. (Homework) homework in my opinion should be in school but be done alone in a room or desk. If we did that then we would have better grade and if you done know how to do something you can finish all the problem that you know and the one you don’t know you can ask the teacher for help and she can give you a different sheet and see if he understands and then at least you will know what you need to learn.

I think the biggest problem facing teens today is drama because drama causes rumors which makes kids lose friends and sometimes commit suicide which then leads to more people to cause rumors and then soon to maybe have someone commit suicide so it pretty much a never ending cycle till drama stops. I think the best way to stop this problem is to stop hanging out with people who cause drama as a daily activity for fun. Also you should hang out with kids you truly like not kids who you want to become popular with because usually those kids don’t start the drama. Another way to stop drama is try and tell teachers who is causing all the drama and try and get them to stop. Last but not least I think the best way to stop drama is to ignore the people who cause drama if you ignore them then they will not get the plessure of making kids cry or upset and soon they will stop. That is my opinion on what is the biggest problem facing teens today and how to stop it.

What I think is a teen problems are drugs and alcohol. Teens think they are cool if they drink and do drugs but they don’t realize that drugs and alcohol can kill you or get you in jail for being caught by selling drugs or smoking drugs with friends. Cops will find people smoking drugs and go to court and then jail for a couple of months. Some people died from getting drunk and driving at the same time and getting into a car crash and getting injured really bad. Some people get killed by smoking drugs to much at a time. One reason to stop this is to make them go to a no more drugs and alcohol class over the weekend so they will stop with drugs and alcohol forever or to do less drugs and less alcohol.

Dear 708,
You are right about peer pressure because peer pressure can take in anything that relates to everything in teens life. I think that no matter what in all life, teens will always have problems with everything including peer pressure, it connects to everything in life.

Dear 709,
I think that you are right, all teenagers have problems I know one person that is confused by her parents because she is the youngest person nd she doesn't know what to do because her family expects so much from her and she doesn't know what to do. I f you could give her advice what would you say? 703

Dear 707,
I think that you are right and parents can keep from going places, like if you went to Wal-greens and when you got in there, there was a buggerly and as the people were going out they grabbed you and took you off. I t might sound cool in your head but it would be scary in real life. 703

717 I agree with you that smoking and drinking is fatal. Because somebody in my family died from lung cancer and did not quit smoking. My cousin's father died of liver failure just because he couldn't stop drinking liquor. So thats why i agree with you about smoking and drinking is bad. 704

I think that is very true people don’t think about sex and they get pressured into it and everyone starts spreading rumors about it and people start judging them which makes them feel bad. Then they regret everything they did to just make the other person happy.

I think that 708 is right about the peer presure.A lot of teens do silly things because their buddys told them to, or because there trying to fit in.I think that people should just be them selfs just like 708.I think if you just be your self them you will have more real friends.But not being your self you will have more popular fake friends.

702, the hardest thing about teenagers are drugs,peer pressure , relationships and alchol .peer pressure is one of the hardest because if some one wants you to drink or do drugs and you don't do it they think that you are not cool or you are a scared, but the truth is that when you do one of these things once it can damage you or even kill you. you also can become a addict. relationships can also be hard when some one doesn't want to hang out with you or be your bf/gf it can hurt. these things can hurt you emotionally and physically

one ways to fix it is to help one another.we should be supportive and we should help are Friends to make rite decisions. we can make a good example for one another by not doing these things like drugs. these things can help them.

Hey! I have to totally agree with you on the sex problem. It is a very odd thing for some people, for others it could be no biggy. When teens date, sometimes they feel they need to take the next step; sex. But NO! It really doesn't need to be that HUGE of a step! It's okay to take it slow, and just wait to see how you two work together. After your first kiss or something, don't assume that sex is the next main thing to focus on!

To Me, these are the three biggest problems that teens face today and why why its just a big deal. The first one is bullying. A lot of high school students or even middle school students tend to be bullied a lot. This is a big problem because the people who re being bullied can start hatting school. On bigger situations, some teens end up killing themselves.

The next biggest problem that I think that teens face with today are drugs. This is a big problem because drugs ruin your life and your future. Its a big deal because the people who use drugs sometimes cant stop and become addicts. One of the main reason why people do drugs is because of peer presure, witch is also a big problem now also.

The last biggest problem that i think that teens face with today is sex. Sex is a big issue because it always brings big problems. Now today you can see 14 to 17 year old girls with a big belly or a baby in there arms. Also, there is a lot of disseases that teens can get just by doing this kind of stuff. To me, These are the three biggest problems that teens have now today.

Dear, Blogger 704


I beleive your statement is very true. Kids don’t understand how dangerous drugs and alcohol really are they think they are cool that there doing crack with there friends till they get very ill and die or get addicted and are on the side of streets asking for money because they lost it all by doing drugs.

Dear 701,
I don't know who you are but I think that if you don't have sex then people will think you are prude. Prude means that when you are dating someone you don't like to get to physical with kissing and everything. But I do believe that sex could wait until you are older but some people think that if you don;t do "it" then you are a nobody, so pretty much they put pure pressure on them, then they do, do it. 703

718 I think the biggest problem with teens are relationships, puberty, and achene. relationship can be complicated sometimes . Achene because sometime kids get it and other kids make fun of them because it makes them ugly i guess. another one is puberty it changes the way girls and guys sound. it changes there voice and kids make fun of them for it. I don’t thinks that right to make fun of kids when there going thought puberty or if they have achene or if there is a rumor going on about them. I think if you hear those kind of things you should let them know but don’t laugh about it.


I think relationships are the biggest problem because kids date and then they hear a rumor or something and then 1 person cries because it not true but the other person says its true. when one of them brake up there always like I’m ugly because I’m going thought puberty. It happens to a lot to some people and i guess if it happens stay strong and go on with your life don’t let those kinds of people get in your way of life.


we can fix these issues by telling kid that if there going though puberty and if the have achene and lose there boyfriend or girlfriend to find some one else and just to ignore the people that are making fun of you. There is a lot of people out there that they can date there is not just 1 person in the school that will like you and stay with you forever. Also that the achene and puberty will go away its not like it will stay with them forever.

Dear 703,
I agree with you about teens wanting to have sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Just because their dating dose not mean it is a green light saying its safe to have sex with your partner. But teens don't know that people get STD's from their partner. 704

I think that the biggest problems facing teens to day is relationships. Why I think this is because of hormones are changing the way that kids and teens are to day. Also, its puberty that effect the way people like in other people. Most teens want to be sexually active. Why i think this is a problem is because of how teens act now in days. We can fix these issues by helping kids stay out of drama and keeping there legs closed by getting involved in after school programs.

I think that the next big problem facing teens today is school. Why I think this is because of how hard school gets. Also, because a lot of students think that school is going to be easy but when they come to find out school is actually harder. Why i think this is a problem is because me and most of my friends struggle in school. I think we can fix this problem by getting my time with the one thing we are learning. Also, teachers should offer time after school to get help

Drama is HUGE for teenagers, and kind of hard to escape! I agree it is quite the issue for teens today! Drama and rumors really affect people and sometimes (maybe most times) really screws up education. I'm sure kids in the 1800's still gossiped and told rumors but they hardly ever let that ruin school related things.

I think that the biggest problem teens face is relationships. Everyone wants that adult relationship, all the touching and togetherness. I just want you to think why go through all that when the fact of the matter is your most likely not going to marry or even like this person in the future. We have plenty of time for love in the future so why now just live your life and do your own thing. I am not saying don’t date I’m saying don’t let it control you.This is a big deal because we all, even me, want to be an adult so bad ,but why its not cool to be tied down so i think we should all try a little harder to be a kid.The way to fix this is not try to get in a supper serious relationship and keep it simple. this will make your life so much easier. I know we will all look back and say why did we want it so bad? That is my thought on this subject.

In my opinion the biggest problem that teens face today is peer pressure. Peer pressure is a teen issue that i think is at a very high rate these days. Peer pressure is usually when some of your friends or just anyone pressure you into doing things like, trying drugs, smoking, having sex and doing other things that you would be not comfortable doing or something you would never do. Peer pressure happens to many teens and part of it is fitting in or just trying to be cool. One of the ways that i think you can prevent this is maybe just being yourself and not let anyone ever try to make you do something your not comfortable with or will not be proud of. I think another way is just to try your hardest to just stay away from whoever your not. So basically this is my opinion on a problem that teens face today.

I think the biggest problem with facing teens is because of drama. Drama goes on every day. And it mostly because of teens being jealous or spreading rumours.
This is a big problem today because the drama causes fights and bad rumours. Most of the drama is from dating or because someone has something that somebody else does not. For example if someone starts a text saying that somebody did something but they didn’t the person that was involved might get into a fight. Or the rumour might get passed to everyone in the school.
I think a way to fix facing teens is to have group discussions with teens and have classes with smaller groups of kids. I also think if the schools made bigger consequences teens would not fight.

The biggest problem facing teens today is sex,drugs,alcohol. I think sex is the huge part that is facing teenagers today. I think because teenagers are getting pregnant and drooping out of school to take care of their baby that's why i think sex is one of the biggest problem facing teen right now. Second thing that is the biggest problem facing teens today is drugs. They smoke marijuana and crack cocaine i think its bad because they could drop out of school and be homeless and die. This is is the reasons y i think drugs is one of the teens issues. The third and final problem facing teens is alcohol. I think it is because when young adult drink they can not control them self's and they get in trouble by the cops and go to jail. The reason its bad because they will have a record and the colleges will look at that and it will be hard to be approved to a colleges. This is the three things i think is the biggest problem facing teens today.
