I believe the media has contributed toward hastening the time that children have to deal with these issues. The average child is developing an awareness of sexuality at an earlier age, and junior high children are deciding whether to be sexual or not. Another factor contributing to adolescent isolation is higher rates of family reorganization, as through divorce. The number of intact families is declining, and children are going to go through additional stressors of the reorganized family. It's what happens when families reorganize that children are left with fewer adults easily available to them for support.
Single parents running a household on their own often have less time to listen to their kids.
It's easy for a parent to get over extended with different projects, but they need to maintain a connection with their kids.
