Top 5 Social Issues Adolescents Face

February 7, 2018 by admin

Adolescence is the most awkward stage of a child’s life. Adolescents face many struggles such as hormonal changes, parental constraints, social requirements, and full workloads on a daily basis. Though the situation can vary depending on the individual, it is not very difficult to help adolescents face these issues in a positive way with the right support system in place.

Some of the social issues faced by adolescents are discussed below:

  • Identity Crisis

Many teens find it hard to deal with who they are. In order to be a successful adult, it is very important for them to establish a clear identity during the teen years of who they are and who they want to be. As a parent, it is your job to help your children find themselves in their environment and discover who they want to be.

  • Self-Determination

Self-determination means possessing the ability to act based on your own will and becoming self sufficient and independent.  Most teenagers confuse self-determination with rebelling against their parents and peers. If you want your teen to be self-determined, encourage them to attend character development workshops that promote personal growth, self-advocacy and independent thinking.

  • Intimacy Issues

In order for teens to become honest, open, and trustworthy with someone and care for them as a friend, they must develop intimacy from the get go. Often, teens confuse intimacy with sex, and they need to be taught that those two things are not the same.

  • Self-Esteem

Teens have to develop a high level of self-esteem in order to maintain a positive attitude that will lead to their personal success. A lack of self-esteem can lead to depression and anxiety. Parents should find ways to instill confidence in their children and give them a space to share their struggles. If teens have a platform to share their struggles on, they can learn to develop strategies to deal with these struggles. A life coach is a perfect platform for this.

  • Competition

Healthy competition is just part of  life. Help your children figure out their strengths and goals and identify their hidden talents so that they can start early on to strive for success.

By eradicating these problems, you can aid your children in becoming the best version of themselves!
