Challenges Teen Face

Teens seem to face a lot in their life but one thing they seem to face is depression 11% have depression and people as they get older they have depression still.The also struggle with bullying that could be for all ages but mostly middle school and high school kids.They struggle with drugs if they get introduced into drugs and might be convinced to sell drugs.Also alcohol use they might need help to stop drinking one day and they well be a hard problem as they get older. Teens also seem with obesity but if people are overweight and are little fatter then you don't judge them because karma will be mean and make you pay back what you did. Teens also struggle with academic things like test and grades those are some hard thing they may struggle with. I feel like it would be school related things like grades and also not what people struggle with but for me it would be walking on the crutches. I don't know what to write for question #3 but i feel like it would be that you being would get good in exchange. I can help them by saying that try to not do bad things in life and not to get down if someone bullies you to not listen to them and to also not be sad if you are depressed.

I feel that teen need a father or mother in their life to help them and if not. A best friend i have a best friend and it doesn't have to a girl because your a girl it can be a boy. I have a boy best friend he is such help in my life and i a m to him and i feel we will never stop being friends with him.
