Challenges Teens Face Today

Challenges Teens Face Today

1. The major challenges teens face today are bullying in any form, cyber-stalking,sex, drugs and alcohol, grades, broken homes, violence (Desensitization), self-esteem and body image, child abuse, peer-pressure and competition, eating disorders,etc. These examples are faced everyday, at least 2 or more of these challenges teen faces daily.
2. Two major challenges i deal with today is self-esteem and body image, as well as competition in both school and sports. It’s hard and stressing to keep up to be as “good” at the others. It is just High School.
3. Being a CTR person makes you realize what is right from wrong. Choosing the right can help you identify and make reason what is the best things to do in situations and overcome them by disregarding harm in yourself and others. CTR was made for the good to be found in people and help them solve certain situations.
4. I believe we can help other teenager to overcome their challenges by educating them and bringing awareness for those who need it. For example, those who face problems at home or outside of school. Based on the certain situation, we can bring awareness to help them out and educate them on what best to do in situations.

6. Reflection: What is the greatest need that teens?

I believe as we get older and reach that age of a teenager, all we care about is ourselves and who the best and well-known. I can say that, the greatest need as a teenager is to fit in, look best and do the best in school and sports, and just be a person who you can be around. That would be the “perfect” ideal person. Nowadays, it just reflect on the type of person we are and how we look at. Usually the case, if you are facing one problem you either lead it on to others and/or it gives more problems to yourself.

Student Success Statement

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks  knew:Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

-President John F. Kennedy

This quote comes one of our leaders and successor of the United States of America, Mr. President Kennedy. This quote summarizes the importance of the effect physical fitness has on us. Physical fitness in important in my everyday life, it’s what gives me the energy to do what i do everyday. In this quote Kennedy clary states what we know from our history, the Greeks. The Greeks have proven to us on how much intelligence and skills can only function on a strong but healthy body. This statement opposing to the Greeks is very well true. What this quote clearly states is our actions, the more better actions we do to yourself the more we learn and become stronger. Physical fitness you can say is what we depend on for the day, it’s our source of energy to keep up moving throughout the day and complete to learn more. Besides the importance physical fitness has to do with creating intellectual activity, it brings us in good mood. When in good health we feel good and well rested, it creates the way you can respond with others. Physical fitness focuses on both your daily movement and the way we react.

A great example that fits with this quote by John F. Kennedy is communication. Everyday we communicate at least once or more times with one individual and/or ourselves. Physical fitness has an impact on both my daily movement and the way we react. For example; let's say one day throughout the week you got well rested, your calm, stress free, and you just feel relaxed and the world is just perfect and then the rest of the week it’s just the opposite. I personally have gone through this, and i get very cranky and mood swings when i am with others. I am not the true me at these times, it’s just not me and it;s not cool. Besides that, on the days i feel good i am like the  most energized and happiest person always smiling. The reasons for these different moods are affected based on my daily actions, like managing my time and going to sleep early. My daily actions affect your future physical fitness for the next day.
