One of the problems kids face is drugs. Drugs are a problem because you can die from them and lots of people want you to do them. Peer pressure is something else. It's really a problem when your friends say you're chicken or a geek if you don't do something. Other problems are weapons, alcohol, and just dumb stuff like stealing.
Weapons are bad because they can kill people.
Alcohol can get you drunk and stealing is awful because you take things that aren't yours. I think the biggest problem kids face today is being faced with the choice. The choice of choosing drugs or no drugs. Alcohol or no alcohol. I think that is the biggest problem kids face today.
