I feel that the biggest problem that youths have to face today is trying to grow up too quick.
Many kids have to work everyday to make money just to further their education.
A lot of kids are also getting themselves in a situation where they are trying to provide for a child. There are many issues in a teen's life that forces them to grow up in order to handle them. I think that social acceptance is a hard issue that is faced today. Many students don't accept people for who they are. They taunt and tease people because of their appearances, race, religious views, etc.
