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  "True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."  - Brigham Young  Reflection:  I agree with this quote because true independence and freedom can only exist  in doing what's right. So do what's right because it's important to be independent and live freely once you start choosing the right. Like Brigham Young University students don't use bad language, they don't drink alcohol, and caffeine which includes coffee and soda which is so sad. But they resist temptations anyway. SO choose the right.

Daily Student Success Statement

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values." -Dennis Prager Reflection:  I agree with the fact that having good values should be everyone's priority. The first thing that should come to people's mind when they think of something that should be a top priority, is good values. Many people may think that money, health, happiness, or love are more important, but they are not. Although it's better to have money than to not, it still isn't as important as having good morals. Health is good because it keeps you alive, but having health and no good values is not a really good thing. Happiness and love are good but without good values you probably won't receive any of it. So know that although the other options seem better, they are actually not. It is better to be nice, honest, loyal and helpful than rich and healthy but mean and selfish. So like Dennis Prager said without good values, money, happiness, and love are not that good.
