        youth problems                              

   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 If your teen seems withdrawn, experiences a change in sleep patterns, or starts to perform badly in school, schedule an appointment with your teen's physician or contact a mental health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 / Тиск однолітків has 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.

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.
