Kids Aren't Alright

The rapid increasing frequency of stress in today's youth is troubling, but not surprising. Hardships are present all over the country as many Americans continue to be unemployed. The youth of today are faced with many obstacles while growing up. Parents around the country are struggling to put a roof over their families and food on the table, and many parents who are strapped financially and stressed themselves, have as a result, cut family time. This trend is disturbing because in trying to better their families lives, parents are neglecting their relationships with their children. I think that many people are afraid of losing employment, and are putting money ahead family. Despite the current bleak reality, I think many kids and young adults are stepping up and rising to the challenges of today's tough economic demands. On the flip-side, many Americans will continue suffer financially, and psychologically.
