What is It
In the activity above, you assessed the issues and concerns of teenagers and their effects on
the dimensions of health. Your parents and family play an important role in shaping your behavior.
Talking encourages family togetherness and increases the likelihood you will share parents’
values. Don’t hesitate to open up about your concerns on matters about human sexuality and behavior
because your family is your biggest support system.
Parents’ and teenagers’ morals, future aspirations, and self-control are typically quite
similar. Your issues and concerns about sexuality should be shared and talk about. Ask your parents
or any members of the family to have a conversation, communicate clearly and interactively about the
issue.
Different Issues/Concerns of Teenagers and the Need for Support and Understanding of the
Family
Identity Crisis. It is questioning your sense of self or identity, unsure of your role in life or you
feel like you don't know the 'real you. This can often occur due to big changes or stressors in life, or
due to factors such as age or advancement from a certain stage (for example, school, work, or
childhood).
Suicide. It is the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally due
to loneliness, depression, family problems, and substance abuse.
Premarital Sex. It is a risky sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried. The health
consequences of teen sex namely pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections can have lifelong
impacts.
Substance Use and Abuse: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs. Substance abuse is when you take
illegal. It’s also when you use alcohol, prescription medicine, tobacco and other legal substances too much
or in the wrong way.
Eating Disorder. Eating disorders are serious conditions related to persistent eating behaviors
that negatively impact your health, your emotions and your ability to function in important areas of life.
Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on your weight, body shape and food, leading to
dangerous eating behaviors. Eating disorders often develop in the teen and young adult years,
although they can develop at other ages (MayoClinic).
All of these issues and concerns can be addressed and solved through the help and guidance
of your parents and other older family members who are armed with facts about these teen health
issues. There will be no difficult conversations if you listen to them so that you will be guided on making
smart choices about health and safety.
