Social issues are problems that affect large
groups of people and can affect how well a society functions. Teens can face social
problems just like adults can. They may even be more susceptible to these
challenges because their brains are still developing and their bodies are changing
quickly. "Teenage problems" can affect emotional and physical health.
Electronic media has changed or amplified some teenage troubles: Digital communication
has changed the way teens interact with their peers and romantic interests, for
example. These are the top 8 social
issues teens struggle with every day.
According
to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 4.1 million adolescents
in the United States had at least one major depressive episode, which also shows that depression is much more
prevalent in female teens.
Spending too much time on electronic devices may be
preventing young people from in-person activities with their peers, such as
sports, which can help ward off depression. Depressive disorders are
treatable, but it's important to seek professional help. If your teen seems withdrawn,
experiences a change in sleep patterns, or starts to perform badly in school,
schedule an appointment with your teen's physician or contact a mental health
professional. About 22% of
teens in the U.S. experienced bullying according to the National Center for
Education Statistics. Research suggests that social media has made bullying
much more public and more pervasive. It's also important to talk to a child
about when and how to get help from an adult.
In the USA
Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey, 8% of high school students
reported that they had ever had sex; These teen births accounted for less than
1% of total births. The teen birth rate has declined over the past decade as
well. The decline in pregnancy doesn't necessarily mean teens are using contraceptives,
however. Just over half of sexually active teens reported using a condom in
their last sexual encounter.
In fact, many teens believe marijuana is less
harmful now than in years past. They do not recognize the dangers of taking a
friend's prescription or popping a few pills that are not prescribed to them.
As of 2021,
alcohol use and binge drinking continued to show a significant decline among
teenagers. Teens don`t think about the risks of underage drinking,
about the dangers, including the fact that alcohol can take a serious toll on a
teenager's developing brain.
Overweight
children and teens are often targeted by bullies. Hispanic and Black children
are more likely to be overweight or obese than White or Asian children. Obese
kids also are at a much greater risk of lifelong health problems, such as diabetes,
arthritis, cancer, and heart disease. It`s an unhealthy way of changing their
appearance.
About 5% of
high school students drop out of high school each year in the United States. Some
teens feel so much pressure to get into a good college that they`re burning
themselves out before they graduate from high school.
While peer
pressure / Тискоднолітківhas affected teens for generations, social media brings it to a
whole new level. Sexting,
for example, is a major cause for concern; many teens do not understand the
lifelong consequences/ наслідки that sharing explicit photos can have on their lives. Keep
yourself from falling victim to peer pressure. Parents should give them the skills
to make healthy choices. Sometimes, kids may be afraid to seek help when they
make poor choices.
Social Media can
be a great way for teens to connect with one another, but social media can be
problematic for several reasons, and there are a lot of risks as well. It can even
impact their mental health. And no matter what precautions you take, teens are
likely to be exposed to unsavory people, unhealthy images, and sexual content
online. Teenagers are going to witness some violent media at one time or
another. And it's not just TV, music, and movies that depict violence. Teens
need to learn how to identify what is good and what is bad about the media.
You should
know youth problems, discuss them, think and live without problems. It is
important to lay a strong foundation before the window of opportunity closes.

the picture shall be the focus of the exhibition.

Impressionism
Impressionism is a style or movement in painting/literature originating in
France in the 1860s, characterized by showing the visual impression of the
moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and sound/colour.
Impressionist painters denied both the
precise academic style and the emotional concerns of Romanticism, and their
interest in objective representation, especially of fresco/landscape, was influenced by early photography.
Impressionism met at first with respect/scorn,
but soon became highly influential. Its chief painters/composers included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne, and
Degas.

though. When he was 20, he studied art at an inexpensive art school in
Paris.

where he painted his Impressionist

many people.

father, Jose Ruiz, was also an artist. Picasso painted in many styles, including Cubism and
Expressionism. He

in his paintings. When he painted in the classical style, his shapes
were round and soft. In cubism, his shapes were square and hard.
When Picasso painted, he had a blue period and a rose
period. For about three years in his early twenties, he used mostly light
blue colours in his paintings. The rose period came after the blue
period. It began after he moved from Spain to France.

such as at an art gallery, a bookstore, as a preacher, and at last, he became
an artist. He didn't have a very happy life. He painted sad
paintings with poor people in them. His paintings were always very dark
until he saw some colorful Japanese paintings. Then Van Gogh started
painting happier paintings. Most of his work was in the Postimpressionist style.
One day, he moved to live with his brother because he was unhappy
where he lived, and he wanted to find someone to paint with. When he
finally found someone, he wished he hadn't. Van Gogh and the other
artist did not get along. After this, Van Gogh became so sad that he cut
part of his ear off!

painting. It was called Wheatfield with Crows. After he finished
it, he shot himself.

send Andy to art college, he went to Carnagie Institute of Technology, where
he studied design and illustration. That's where he developed his
unusual art style.

job. He got jobs doing magazine illustrations, decorating department
store windows, greeting cards, record albums, book covers, and suns, clouds,
and raindrops for television weather reports. He still was not satisfied
because he was not famous.

Art. People liked his pictures because they were bright, attractive,
and familiar. Warhol liked getting people’s ideas for new drawings.
