Youth Concerns

Teenagers nowadays face a lot of problems, whether it is at home or at school. Such examples are pressure, teen violence and teen sexuality. Things will turn ugly if these problems are not handled properly.

Peer pressure

Teens are influenced by their friends to do things which are not of their own accord, usually bad things. Therefore at times they land themselves into hot soup.

Teen violence

Teen violence includes many different activities. These include fights, gang violence and suicide. The victims of teen violence are most often other teenagers.
Teens who commit acts of violence are often involved in other types of risky or criminal behavior. They may use drugs, carry weapons, drive recklessly and have unsafe sex.

Teen sexuality

Teens have under-aged sex when they are below 16 years years old. These can cause a lot of problems when a baby comes out. They do not know how to take care of the baby after it is born and tend to give way to pressure, abandoning or aborting the baby.
