Role of teenagers in society
The role of teenagers in society is to be active
in going against smoking and keeping their
countries clean. Adults must give teenagers some
advices to keep them awake from destroying them
selves. Teenagers must study well and do their
duties and take part in useful activities such
as sports and arts to provide a better outlet to
make the world a better place.

Problems teenagers face

• Nowadays teenagers face many problems such as
• They do things they want without taking
  permission from their parents.
• Many teenagers take bad habits from celebrities.
• They think that harming them selves is the best
  way for solving their problems.

• Teenagers' Problems Being a teenager is very
  hard for everyone in that age. Therefore, a lot
  of teenagers face problems such as smoking, drug
  addiction, dropping out of school and many more.
  So if you are a teenager and have a problem, face
  it and get help. There are a lot of ways to help
  teenagers. May be you can talk to your parents or
  someone at school. You can get help, but don't
  hide it, deal with it because it will affect you
  in the future. Zainab Hussain Teenagers face
  many problems during this phase of their life.
  The most common problems among teenagers are
  smoking, drug addiction and dating. If we ask
  ourselves about the real reasons for these
  problems, we find out that the community, parents
  and bad friends are the main sources that teens
  are influenced by. Teens in these ages need
  special care because they're going through a new
  phase which happens to be the most important
  phase in the human beings life. We, as
  teenagers, think that teens do these bad actions
  because it makes them feel cool and it increases
  their self confidence, but the main reason is
  their desire to act like adults. The society has
  a big role in helping teenagers by raising
  awareness among them, and that can be done in
  many ways such as camps, workshops, campaigns
  and advertisements.

•                                            Being
  a teenager is not always the easy fun and
  irresponsible age. Teenagers (especially
  nowadays) face a lot of serious problems and
  challenges from different sources. One of the
  most important problems is media. For example
  T.V, although T.V is a very useful and
  educational device, it shows grievous numbers of
  immoral and unsuitable scenes and advertisements
  that badly effect teens, in fact some channels
  expose teens to these scenes, the bad language
  and violence as well. Another problem comes
  from the community, bad friends and cruel ways of
  treating teens. These are major problems that
  affect them and lead them to violence and
  isolation which makes them mental diseased or
  even criminals. In my opinion, parents are
  responsible to watch their kids and to protect
  them not only by saying ''NO'', but also by being
  close friends of them and trying to get along
  with them and hear their problems.

• Huda Alkhnaizi I believe that adolescents are
  the most people who are exposed to the problems.
  They often feel degraded and their psychological
  reason for this sense of injustice is that no one
  understands their problems or what they want. I
  am in this age and feel that no one understands
  and no one knows what I want. I would like to
  stay alone in thinking to myself what I want. If
  one spoke to me or told me something I feel
  outraged and perhaps say bad things to them. I do
  not like that, but I like to be alone. I want to
  be independent and have privacy and hate guidance
  and advice. Adolescents face many problems,
  some adolescents tend to prove themselves by
  highlighting muscular strength, body, and assault
  by beating on others who are most vulnerable and
  it is something wrong of course. They try to
  impose himself and imposing his opinion by
  screaming, and the threatening and this alienate
  them from the people. Appearance sometimes comes
  to confusion by wearing strange clothes and
  strange movements in clothing or hairdressing.

Raising awareness among teenagers

• Adults must raise awareness among teenagers by
  telling them the results of their bad behaviors.
  
• Teenagers as well have a role in spreading
  awareness among their peers by learning from
  their mistakes and others as well.

How can we raise awareness among teenagers about
drug addiction and smoking?
Nowadays teenagers are liable to bad influences.
The majority of teens are not in the position to
understand what is good or bad. Many of them in
order to be acceptable, they are carried away by
peer pressure. Some of them claim that smoking
and drugs are trendy. I personally feel really
sad about this. I could be one of them, but
luckily I am not. In my opinion we could raise
awareness against drugs and smoking first of all
at schools which are there to prepare the
citizens of tomorrow. A subject should be taught
to show the real side of these problems.
Secondly, TV channels could show advertisements
about the danger of smoking and drugs. Finally,
I strongly recommend that parents should more
control the everyday life of their children.
