Teenagers
The age between 14 and 17 is considered to be one of the best periods in people's life. Grown-ups remember it with excitement and tenderness. But most teens wouldn't agree with this opinion if they were asked. They're sure and that's quite true that they are overwhelmed with different problems. These problems are quite serious and they can't be considered trifles. Teenagers have psychological problems which can be explained by their psychological instability. This is the reason of their strange and sometimes aggressive behavior.
Their aggression can be aimed at their friends, teachers, parents and people around them. If these problems aren't solved and regulated by experienced specialists, psychologists, teachers it can lead to far more serious problems.
Drinking and drug addiction have become the most actual problems of the modern society. As for drinking, teenagers don't realize the harm it does to their health. Government surveys on all aspects of drinking have found that about 40 percent of teenagers are attracted by bright and impressive advertisements of alcohol. So, we can say that the low level of self-appraisal is the main reason of drinking and drug problem.
