The biggest problem youths face today is peer pressure. As youths, we must constantly make decisions that will ultimately affect our life. Whether of not to smoke, use drugs, engage in activities, unlawful acts, and follow others are part of these enormous choices dealing with peer pressure. The pressure from the friends we depend on only intensifies each situation.
Violence is a big problem.
When things can't be resolved, people resort to violence. I would bring about the subject of how to cut down underage smoking and drinking. There are about 5 stores in an area of something like 10 miles around where I live that sell cigarettes to underage smokers. It's also very easy to get alcohol. Maybe the government could put cameras in retail stores so they would have to check for Ids.
