ISSUES
SOCIAL
MEDIA
Social Media is destroying a generation. Studies have shown that heavy social media usage for teens is correlated with anxiety and depression, and glamourizes and promote self-harm and suicide.
Poor parenting is shown to be directly associated with the mental well-being of adolescents. Negligence, abuse, poor relationship, and lack of attention to mental health from parents leads to youth depression.

LACK OF
RESOURCES
There is a shortage to mental health services available in the US. With the high rate of mental health disorders among adolescents, only about 1/5 has access to specialized mental health care.
