In short its all down to a lack of respect.\nToo much television of a violent nature is also to blame as well as parents that could not care less.\nIn this day and age society is of the opinion that they can do as they please and have the right to do what they want.\nSome people blame the Human Rights Act others blame the media or even rap.\nIt's up to the individual to decide but I do lean on the argument that teenagers today generally have no interest in the things their parents did as teenagers.\nIn conclusion, I believe that the youth of today are too caught up in the excitement of violence and foul language because it is fashionable

Many teens, including myself, are much more interested in "adult" political issues than one would assume; after all, we recognize that in the near future these "adult" issues will become ours.  Why not try to delve into their diverse opinions on topics such as:\n\nreligious freedoms\nabortion\nglobal warming prevention\ngay marriage/unions\npoverty\nthe War in Iraq\nimmigration?\n\nOf course, those topics may not be very specific to teens.  A discussion on materialism and advertising could be very enlightening and is more teen-specific than the previous topics.  I hope you are able to understand and sympathize with whatever topic you choose to discuss.  Three tips: \n\n1) Recognize teens' competence in discussion and don't overpower them\n2) Be affirming of their opinions while simultaneously challenging them to take their beliefs to the next level with probing questions, and \n3) Be sensitive and discerning during the discussion.  \n\nEnjoy the wonderful world of the teen mind! ;)

Adolescent females are going through a tough time. Hormones are affecting them psychologically and physiologically (mind & body). They are coping with their bodies changing and its generally human nature to want for everything to stay the same, as opposed to different. That's why there is prejudice, racism, sexism, etc. in the world. People are just afraid of things they don't understand. It puts them on guard. And with teenagers being as immature as they are (sorry, but it's true), the only way they know how to cope is by pushing away that which is not like them... so that they don't have to deal with it.\n\nIt's also a bonding mechanism. If someone finds a kid to pick on, this will unite a group of kids to pick on that one kid. The group now has their "hatred" for that picked-on-kid as a common bond between them. It's comforting to know that you're part of the crowd and not on the outside.\n\nGirls especially need that comfort, as they need self-esteem boosts in any way they can get them. Society pushes them to extreme measures in order to be a nearly impossible ideal: tall, thin, well-dressed, intelligent, perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect teeth and skin. It's difficult to be any of that when your body is working overtime in regulating hormones, which cause greasy hair, oily skin, voice changes, height & weight adjustments and other difficult aesthetic situations to deal with. \n\nIf you're at that age, all I can say is that it WILL eventually get better. Just stay true to yourself and you will be MUCH happier. I attempted to give in to peer pressure a few times, but just found myself bored, depressed and/or way out of my element. Rather than try to be something I wasn't, I found the people who enjoyed my company because I wasn't afraid to be myself and I had a positive outlook on life. It's a difficult time to get through, but you WILL get through it. Ignore the mean girls... those are the girls that just end up living empty lives anyway... trust me ;)

Teenagers these days need morals given by their parents and enforced. A lot of parents don't open up to their child by these issues until its too late. Not only do teenagers deal with this problems, but so do pre-teens. Some parents think, "Oh Jonny is only 11 years old. We don't need to talk to him about that yet." Unfortuantly, many of them are very wrong. Most kids are learning about sex and drugs before they are a teenager.\n\nSociety & the media plays a huge role in a childs mind. There are more bad infuences than great role models out there. A child gets confused. \n\nMorals aren't set into the childs mind. Discussions about sex, drugs and its concequences. Its not taught in school until after a child has had its glimse of drugs and sex. They are already tring to figure it out on their own because they are not getting other help from anyone other than their friends who are already experiencing this issues. \n\nParents need to open up with their child and visa versa.  Family discussions and meetings can connect a family is positive ways. Its not only beneificial to the child but the parent. Sometimes family counciling is very helpful to families with difficult issues. \n\nWith all that aside, A teenager (or pre-teen) who feels threatened by the peer pressures of drugs or sex. Just say "No thanks".  Its not worth the concequences. Enjoy your life as a kid, follow your dreams and reach them. Be knowledgeable and make something good for yourself. If you fall into the traps of peer pressure, you lose yourself. There is only one "you" out there. Make "you" someone good, someone great.

Teenagers get depressed very easily. Whether it is because they do not fit in or they are not happy with their body type. Teenage girls are at more risk of depression then boys. More than likely they will not tell you what is wrong and pressuring them to tell you is not a good thing it will only cause tension at home. \n  You only thing you really can do give them more praise for things they do right like a good grade, how they look, or just do more family things that they enjoy. You have to help them through it even if you have to do it at a distance.\n\n\n"Factors involved in causing depression, include:\n \n·A history of depression in the family: It is believed that depression is passed genetically from generation to generation, although the exact way this occurs is not known. \n\n·Grief from the death or loss of a loved one. \n·Personal disputes, like conflict with a family member. \n·Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. \n·Major events that occur in everyone's lives, such as moving, graduating, changing jobs, getting married or divorced, retiring, etc. \n·Serious illness: depressed feelings are a common reaction to many medical illnesses. \n·Certain medications \n·Substance abuse: close to 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have major depression. \n·Other personal problems: these may come in the forms of social isolation due to other mental illnesses, or being cast out of a family or social circle." From www.webmd.com\n\n\nBut listen VERY carefully do not take it lighty. It is a very serious matter. If it gets worse or you don't think you can help them talk go talk to a doctor.

Trying to get teenagers interested in anything these days is a difficult task, and I applaud you for trying to introduce them to Christianity.  However, you must know and understand that you can not lead anyone to salvation. You can not save anyone.  You can not bring anyone to God.  All these things are brought about ONLY by the free will God gave them. They must choose.\n\nThat being said, leading by example is the best approach.  Nothing you say will mean anything to these kids if they think you are full of crap (pardon the term).  But it's true, young adults and teenagers are longing for good guidance by adults they can trust.\n\nIt's also important to find ways to establish a relationship with their lives, and the life of a Christian.  Give them some examples of how fear, anxiety, social relations with the opposite sex, the future, etc. are all made clearer and better when you have friends that have shared experiences, and that these experiences have meaning.  Let them know that being a good Christian means being a part of something beautiful and fulfilling.\n\nNever take them for granted.  All their problems are very real, and sometimes devastating (even if you think they are trivial.)  Teenagers have such a strong need to be accepted and understood, and if you just say "trust in God" over and over again, they'll become immune to it.  \n\nStay creative and entertaining.  The attention span of the avergae teen is about 10 seconds, maybe less.  You have to keep them focused. (This will end up being the most difficult part.)\n\nAnyway...good luck, and God Bless.  Don't give up, and trust that The Lord will find his way into the hearts of these kids, and that these kids will want Him there.

understanding and respecting other people's, culture, religion and rituals can help in solving this problem.\nthe crux of the problem is the greedy nature of human.

A person in his teen years is in a phase of life in which he is learning and experiancing all sorts of things around him.\nA teenager is primarily interested in all activities directly related to him like going out, eating out, dating, watching TV playing games, school activites etc. \nThe effect of political unrest is limited. The teenagers could get upset due to the injustices done during the politcal unrest and can form incorrect opinions in this emotionally charged environment.

some teens seclude themselves, others will become violent or rebel, and others will just put themselves into some kind of activity to forget about their troubles like a sport, hobby or schoolwork. I'm sure there are other reactions, but these are three of the most common and broad reactions that i have seen.

Because people view teenagers as these younger "know-it-alls" who have never lived life and have no idea what it's like to live. They don't understand that times have changed and so have teenagers. They also don't understand that everyone is different, and have gone through different things.

Well it depends, I am a teenager and I have  a positive outlook on life. But I have a lot of friends that are bored sad and depressed because they have really bad grades. But I know some really smart teens that I think will grow up to do something useful. I do have alot of stress though. when i am stressed out, I break out so I try to only worry about stuff like what am I going to wear and do i look good.

By talking to their parents and teachers and keeping an open line of communication between them.\n\nYou need to have someone to talk to.  If it is a school problem, talk to the teacher first, then head to the dean or principal of the problem is not resolved.\n\nWith your parents, talk to them first, then call Grandma if the problem is not resolved.\n\nThe key is communication!

There are many ideas to consider in answering this question.  First of all, teens go through incredible chemical changes every minute of every day.  An increase in testosterone (a male hormone) has shown to increase aggressiveness.  Even girls have fluctuating testosterone levels.\n\nAlso, fighting can be considered a cry for attention.  This does not necessarily mean attention from adults.  Peer pressure is a huge issue for teens.  Fighting might be viewed as a way to gain peer acceptance.\n\nDrug abuse may also play a part.  When a teen is high on any particular drug, the teen is noticeably more aggressive than normal.\n\nTeens also lack the social skills to handle differences.  In time, teens learn the appropriate ways to deal with differences of opinions by observing adults interacting.  This is why it is imperative that adults always model appropriate skills around impressionable young adults.
