Adults talk about problems teenagers seem to constantly struggle with and say it’s just a “phase” that they are going through. I don’t think it is that way, if these problems are just “phases” of the teenage era then why would so many teens get involved in drugs, sex, and gang activity? Society does not seem to grasp the idea that teens are becoming more and more isolated and dropping out of school because they feel alone and have no one to support them. Parents and teachers seem to believe anything the media portrays. Teens are viewed as futures criminals that will ruin society and make this world a bad place to live in.
