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.

Daily Student Success Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "Character is higher than intellect" -Ralph Waldo Emerson  Reflection: I agree with this quote, as I personally like it. This quote is saying that  having a good personality is more important than being a  smart person. So it's technically  saying that although intelligence is important, being nicer to others is more important. So it doesn't matter how smart you are, your kindness is all that matters. So if you don't go to college and not get a job and you end up homeless as long as your nice, everything will be great. So be nice, being kind matters most. It's like if they check someone's grade, and a person has an A in a class but U for behavior and another person has a B but an E in conduct, they will choose  the person with the lowest grade. So don't forget to behave well, have good character. This is all because grades shouldn't be your priority. Behavior and good character should be your priority.

Daily Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." -Dean Smith  Reflection:  What I believe this quote means is that you shouldn't do something just so people can like you, you should do it because it's the right thing to do. Instead of doing things for attention you should do it for your own good. Don't try to please others, and do what's right.  For example say you saw someone throw trash on the floor, you should do it because you are trying to do what's right, instead of let's say only doing it because there were a lot of people watching you and thinking good things about you. Try to remember that someday people will forget what you did and not remember any of your past actions, but even if they forget what you did the change you made to help the world will always be there. Popularity won't last forever, but everything you have done to help your environment, community, or peers will remain there fo...

The education requirement system is a bit weird, at least i my opinion. Although I like helping people I do not enjoy lots of physical contact as I get awkward easily. I also believe that I will not be able to do waht they do.
