Dealing with teenage depression and other teen problems: "Hey, I'm okay! Don't worry about me." Growing up is not easy. Most grown-ups can attest to that fact. Even "normal," well-adjusted teens have challenges and difficulties such as depression to overcome. There is simply no such thing as a young person without issues.
A group of 16 candid teenage students reveal their challenges and difficulties through their own eyes and in their own words; and they share the steps they've taken towards resolving these issues. In doing so, they help us to discover the truth that every teenage student does have difficulties and challenges; that "you are not the only one" who is dealing with teenage depression, personal issues, and inner conflict; and that growth is a matter of facing our challenges and difficulties, understanding them and doing our best to overcome, resolve and come to peace with them. Issues presented include divorce, teenage depression, family issues, teen peer pressure, isolation, discrimination, drug use, teenage suicide, eating disorders and others.

In watching what these forthcoming teens reveal about themselves, we come to understand that part of resolving personal issues stems, first from understanding them, and then trying new behaviors, new strategies and new ways of looking at our challenges. Innovation is one of the greatest keys in dealing with personal issues, and watching our young participants explore their issues is a lesson in innovation. As we come to appreciate the steps that they've taken in dealing with their difficulties, we are encouraged to take a more active role in facing our own challenges. The program concludes with words of advice from our participating teens.
Every Teen Has Challenges provides a memorable growth and learning experience that will be a source of inspiration for teenagers.
