Content: Mental illness
Growing up, teenagers experience new external and internal struggles that can be emotionally overwhelming. According to youth.gov, 1 in 5 youth meets the criteria for a severe mental health disorder. 11% of teens report suffering at least one major depressive episode (including thoughts of suicide) in the past year. SOLUTION: It is important that teens’ thoughts and feelings are validated appropriately instead of being dismissed. Healthy, authentic friendships can help teens work through emotional challenges. Adolescents whose mental struggles seriously impede them should receive professional diagnosis and help. 2. Peer pressure
All people naturally want to fit in and be liked by others, but adolescents feel this pressure intensely. Negative peer pressure includes pressure to use alcohol and drugs, participate in sexual acts, or engage in risky behaviours.
