Teenagers and their problems

Teenage is a dynamic age that lies between 15 to 17 or different according to different sources. This short time span brings various issues and problems to youngsters related to their health, social life, mental stability, parental relations, peer group issues and personal life. Teenage brings mood swings like no other age.

        

According to survey it is scientifically proven that about 16% of teenagers fall prey of depression before reaching adolescence. Depression brings many other issues with it. Like drug usage, sexual activity, bodily changes, lack of sleep, social anxiety, suicidal thoughts, smoking and many more.

Here I like to address some of the major issues that teenage brings. Teenage is an age where teenagers suffer basic hormonal changes and when they fail to recognize and able to endure these changes, they fall prey of depression, anxiety and lack of understanding.

DEPRESSION is one of the major issues related to teenage. When youngsters reach the age of 13 and so on, they began to feel major changes in their bodies and these bodily changes make them feel unsecure. Lack of understanding about their basic bodily changes and lack of education in this ground cause depression among youngsters. And cause is the mood swings. These hormonal changes bring mood swing that will cause many other problems like poor relationship between child and parents. Due to these hormonal changes cause youngsters, aggressiveness, insecurities, loudness and bad attitude. On the other hand, many parents fail to understand these changes and started to scold their child for having bad behavior and attitude. This cause disturbance among their relation. And at the same time teenagers feel secure with their age-group fellows. They started to share more with their peer group as compared to their parents. And this cause line between children-parental relations.

Then comes PEER GROUP issues. Teenagers relay more on their peer groups. Because they feel they can understand them in a better way. This is true to some extent. But at the same time good peer group is a blessing. Teenage is a very dangerous age in a sense because it can save you or ca n destroy you at the same time, choice is all yours. If you have with people interested in wrong deeds and activities it automatically causes your habits to change according to your surroundings. At the same time if your peer group have people with intellectual interests and future goals you will move in that same direction.

Having involvement in SEXUAL ACTIVITIES is another teenage problem. A lot of teenagers get involve in sexual activities accidentally or by mistake. Each issue is related to previous issue somehow. They all are interdependent. Some times its peer pressure and some time its porn watching that cause this problem. Teenagers think its an adventure and get themselves involved in these wrong activities without knowing its dangerous and unethical results.

Another issue is SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION. this is the Era in which social media is the great powers even more like mainstream media. Teenagers spend their maximum time on social media, watching and chatting. This drastic use of social media cause changes in their social as well as personal life. There is a major change in their sleeping schedules. They face relationship issues that brings suicidal thoughts. Over-use of social media cut-off their relationship with their family member. They gave more time to their social life as compared to their personal life.

There are many more problems related to teenage. But these are some major issues that teenagers have to face in their early adulthood. We need education in this discipline. We need to educate both children as well parents. These issues are real and we have to counter them in a positive and good way.
