Issues Facing Teens Today Adolescents today face the common problem of peer pressure, which results in many consequences that have affected the teenage life. In the pursuit to become popular or fit in, most teens eventually collapse under the pressure. Peer pressure can cause many teenagers to entertain the idea of sexual intercourse, promotes the use of alcohol, and can encourage drug use, thus ultimately damaging the adolescent. Recently, pregnancy has become a common issue among high school aged teens. As a result of peer pressure, teenagers may feel it is appropriate to have sex, however they are often unaware of the penalty of their choices. When having sex there is always the possibility of pregnancy. Furthermore, becoming pregnant at a young age has more drawbacks than becoming pregnant at a later age. For example, once the baby is born, the teen will have the full responsibility of another human being. Ironically, most adolescents cannot take care of themselves, let alone take care of another. The only prevention of teen pregnancy is teaching teens morals and the importance of abstinence.
