Challenges Teens Face Today

Challenges Teens Face Today

What are several of the major challenges teens deal with today?

  • Bullying: 30% of all teens in the U.S. have faced bullying, especially with the use of social media.
  • Depression: 12.5% of teenagers in the United States have had at least one major depression episode during the last year. 
  • Drug/alcohol use: There has been a rise of teenagers who use drugs and alcohol during the past few years.

  • Academic Problems/Pressure: More teens have dropped out of school now that in past years, which is a real problem.

  • Social Media: Many teens are trying to fit in so they use social media to do so, they can go as far as to post offensive content to feel popular. 

 What are one or two major challenges YOU are dealing with today? What are you doing about them?

  • I do not face most of these challenges, but I do feel that academic pressure may apply to me. This is because sometimes schoolwork can get hard and assignments can pile up very easily. It is very easy to stress over school, but as long as you do your best you will be fine. 

How does being a CTR person help you to overcome any challenge you may face?

  • It helps you by avoiding problems. If you choose the right you won't end up in situations where you are being pressured to smoke, participate in sexual activities, lie, drink, cheat or bully. By choosing the right you can overcome many obstacles. 

How can you help other teens to overcome their challenges?


  • You can help people to overcome their challenges by teaching them to choose the right. 
  • Help them identify the problem
  • Help them think of a solution to their problem, in which they do not choose the wrong.

What do you think is the greatest need that teens have today?

  • I think that the biggest obstacle is doing bad things to fit in. I see this often when people wnat to fit in or impress someone so they do things that are not aproppiate or offensive. They try to do what's cool. not thinking if it's the right thing to do.

Student Sucess Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." -Alan Paton Reflection: I agree with the statement by Alan Paton. If someone does something for you, you must forgive. Forgiveness doesn't have to start right away, but it has to start somehow. If you don't forgive you'll grow old and you'll still be filled with hate for someone. Instead you should have forgiveness and enjoy a good life with no hatred . For example let's say your neighbor crashed into your car, you should forgive them eventually. Sure, at first you might be mad for what they did to your car and how much it will cost you, but eventually you should forgive them. What good does being filled with hate and not forgiving someone bring you. Instead of being bitter and mad at people, you should be happy knowing you gave them a  second chance and maybe even changed their life.
