Teen Issues.
Teens face, Poverty, gang violence, abuse, abandonment, health issues such as (anorexia, depression, and anxiety), teenage pregnancy, and have to deal with parents, acting more as friends than mothers and fathers. Some can blame other teens for things that go on. Others can only blame themselves. But teens shouldn’t have to face everything they do today. I would love to see teenagers make something of their lives, but at the rate we are going at now, it seems as though we may never get there. Many teens miss out on half of their lives, and they just waste it, getting wasted.
The gang population in America has increased severely over the past few years or so. Many adults are in gangs also, so the teens follow the footsteps. This could also be a big reason why drug use and violence has increased. I look at poor parenting, as also a reason why many teens are the way they are today. If parents could set a good example than teens could become something in life, and not end up on the streets, or worse, even dead. On average every teenager can get drugs within 24 hours.
Many teens turn to drugs as an outlook, an escape. For some, the drugs end their lives completely, or changes who they are to become. Some can blame Poor Parenting. Others can blame fear; abandonment and abuse. Many young girls become also, young parents, single moms, with no education, and no job. Everything someone leads into another issue, which teens must face on a daily basis. Is this what America has come to? Teens drink and party every weekend fight and drop out of school, and often times the parents allow teens to party. 'Parents Who Host Lose the Most.'
