This is a question that depends a great deal on the
socio-economic status of the teenagers because problems will vary from one class to
another. However, generally, teenagers have socio-economic problems in the following
categories:
1. The need to keep conform to the consumption
of their peers, including the need to wear particular clothing or have the latest
electronic gadget or game.
2. The need for money for dating
and other social activities.
3. The need for
jobs.
4. The need to juggle work, school, and social
life.
5. The temptation of drug
use.
As I said, there is a great amount of variability in
classes. For example, a teen from a poor family might have the pressure of helping his
or her family financially and have concerns about keeping up with material goods in the
peer group. A teen from a wealthy family will have other kinds of pressures and
problems. Middle-class often teens face the difficulties of financing college and the
social pressure that accompanies the expectation that they will go to
college.
It is difficult for teenagers because they have
all of these pressures and very little control over the means to overcome
problems.
