What Are Some Major Teen Issues in Todays Society?

Question by Lily: What are some major teen issues in todays society?
I prefer feedback from teens themselves. I know as teens we are in the center of all ythe problems. We actually know whats going on in our highschools, we can speak better for our selves then the adults can. I know theres alot of alcohol abuse and drug abuse, teen pregnancies and ect. I want to know in your eyed what do you see as a big problem and what do you think we can fo to change it, and why fo you think its a problem?

I need some clever feedback, things that arnt talked about often. Our voices should be heard.
