Not only adults have problems, even youth grows tired and weary. What do you think their problems that they are facing?
I think that in every generation teens are reckless and a little stupid somtimes. That, naturally, does not make anyone's actions ok. I think that when it comes to friends of mine who are pregnant, partying, and so on, its how they grew up. I think there is somthing about teaching them to be virtuous and to have good morals at a young age, and giving them somthing to look up to.
Then after that, its up to those children to grow up and make mistakes (We all have... some huge... some small..)
People (whether a teen or an adult) sometimes take a while to learn from their mistakes... sometimes they learn right away. It depends on the person.
Anyways I believe that the attention should be on the fact that there are some amazing people in my generation, some that will grow to be leaders, some that will raise another generation and some that WILL go wrong. This is what happens to EVERY generation.
