The challenges that are faced by the teens are many and even are life threatening. The influence and impact of the threats they face are largely resultant on the place they live or the environments that they expose themselves to on a regular day basis. A parent championed approach is usually the best way to apply preventive measures on the numerous problems facing teenagers today.
The harm that teenagers face is usually more behavioral and if well addressed it can be prevented. The examples we can see as being the most distressing are homicide and suicide. It is unfortunate that a significant proportion of them are firearm related. Some are usually arising out of depression as well as other mental complications. In fact the use of firearms provides the leading contribution to teen death.
The challenge experienced in families is maintaining the bonds while still accommodating their busy career obligations. The lack of connection between the teenager and the parent can largely be attributed to the large rift in generational gap experienced. This could result in them feeling insignificant and stress kicking in.
Too much influence of modern media on the teenagers such as on Hollywood material influences them into adopting the stereotypical unrealistic lifestyle fantasies. They tend to detach themselves more from the real world. In the modern media violence is promoted as being cool and acceptable. From movies to video games, the hero usually succeeds when he eliminates his foe in a very violent manner.
Once they feel that they are not appreciated and adequately loved at home they will run to peers who will act as compensate for the parental loss in their lives. It will be really unfortunate if the new peers they acquire are members are badly cultured. This means that the teen is more susceptible to make decisions that are more influenced by the society they are exposed to.
Also the increasing cases of parental divorce and custody conflicts between the former spouses puts them more at risk of depression. It is unfortunate that this drugs are major contributors to lots of accidents among teens with the worst cases being some of them taking them in suicide attempts caused about by depression. Depression can affect them very strongly resulting in them causing harm to themselves or others if it is not properly addressed early.
A lot of stereotyping in the mass media of the type of people who can be successful in society brings about frustrations to those who feature in neither of the categories. Lack of a parental figure is usually one of the major contributions to teenage depression especially where they feel downtrodden and unappreciated. They usually get the perception that the best way to get the world attention is to take their own life.
Teenagers are also susceptible to drunken driving. This can even occur while they are under influence of drugs. This might not only be on the part of the teen, as they might be exposed to the risk of reckless adult drivers. This are very serious situations and many young ones are at a potential risk of this.
