Challenges Teens Face Today

• In this generation, I believe that our teens are facing more problems than the adults. Everyone sees youth as a problem but also a phase. No one “understands” them and no one really “cares”. However, several of the many major challenges teens face today is the rejection of their parents, or in general, from any adult, supervisor, or counselor.

• My major challenges that I fear in this era is my mental disorder. I don’t think this is specifically towards teens, but there is a higher rate of it. Dysphoria is not something easy to deal with, especially when others don’t know about it, and do the exact contrary of what you want them to do. Life is never going to be easy on us all the time, but it’s not going to be difficult forever.

• Any challenges that come to anyone can be easily resolved and fixed. The only thing we need to cooperate in is our willing to work and stay strong no matter what comes in our way. The first thing is to be and think like a CTR person everywhere we go. This helps us remember that it doesn’t matter how bad or damaged we can be, the feelings and lives of others still matter.

• The only advice I can give out to those who need it is that, I know it’s difficult to understand things in these situations, but I know that even if it takes its time nothing will last forever. This concludes with giving hope to those who desperately want to be awaken by the light, the light is close to come.

• The greatest need that teens have is love. This also goes to everyone, but I believe that teens want reality more than anything, and not having love is like being dead. The love they need is strong that they’d do anything to get it. The love that their parents doesn’t give them, kills them. The love of that friend that doesn't give them, kills them. They only want to find that person who will, and when they’ve finally found, their world is restored.
