I think the biggest problem we are facing is having to deal with adult problems and worries at such young ages. For example, I am involved greatly in school activities and I have been forced to cut back from that to get a part-time job so that I can pay for my college education. I don't think that students should have to worry about funding for college. I think that the great expense of college has deterred many people from going, and that is disappointing.
Society is vain and materialistic and being intelligent or speaking out is denounced.
The teenage years are truly difficult. People don't have to work hard at all to survive. Not only is it very easy to graduate from high school, little ability or talent is required for a college education. With government aid, such as welfare and Medicare, there is little incentive to work. Complacency could be the downfall of this society.
