Teenage drug rehabs over the past few years have strongly hinted at the unrealistic expectations put forth by parents on their kids. Depression is definitely one of the biggest concerns of teens today and the days are gone, when we would associate the feelings of depression and stress with older people. Teens are now the most vulnerable segment when it comes to being prone to depression. The modern-age jet age pushes the teen down with a lot of new sets of tensions and anxieties. Yes, he is not yet in a corporate environment fighting for his promotion but there are lots of other concerns that can trigger teen substance abuse . For instance, the teenager has to deal with academic problems adding to the fact that there are a lot of expectations put on him by parents to get good grades in this hugely contested atmosphere. Parents take huge study loans and have stars in their eyes about their son and daughter's academic pursuits while the children may have different aspirations altogether. There are relationship problems as well which can be quite upsetting to many teenagers when things do not go their way. There are different ways in which kids (and even adults) can converse with each other, telephone, , voice-chat, social networking sites. All of them serve as potential dating and flirting points of contacts. A teenager may become a victim of sexual abuse through any of these forms of media. There was a report a couple of years ago of a teen committing suicide because her ‘friend' online was not reciprocating to her anymore; this considering the fact that she had never met her! There are health concerns among teenagers; there are many girls who pop in prescription pills for something as normal as getting some pounds more or menstrual discomfort, without even consulting doctors. Girls are known to go on a binge eating spree, where they eat everything and then rush to the loo to vomit it out due to feelings of guilt. Anorexia is also a serious psychological problem among teens. This is a phase which is the foundation of health for an individual and teens with their myriad set of unhealthy perceptions ruin it. This is purely because today there is no guidance available to them and what is present is also in the form of media overkill. Teen treatment centers are attending to the rising number of alcohol and drug addictions. There have been a high number of cases of rave parties getting busted by the cops that are not just participated but even organized by teens. Alcohol, heroin, cocaine and the party drug ‘ecstasy' are known flow freely in these circuits. All of these cases shout loudly pointing at one fact: parents and guardians are losing control over their kids and are not able to guide them clearly. The fact that they are either indifferent or exercise too much pressure on them do not make things easy at all. At teen rehab centers , not only teens get fully treated off their addiction and problems but even parents are guided to be the part of a positive change.
