Troubled Teens /trou.bled/ /teens/ n. Noun A troubled teen is defined as a person that is between the age 13-19 that is beset by problems or conflict. Every Teenager faces problems that they must encounter in their life.  Problems arise in every person’s life both big and small yet sometimes we allow even the most insignificant of problems affect our lives.  Sometimes with teenagers they allow trials in their life greatly affect them in negative ways.  Typically when a person (typically teenagers) face problems in their lives, the ability to cope with the problem does not exist.  When teenagers turn to other things to cope with the feelings of the problems that they usually face  things such as drugs and alcohol, pornography, criminal activity, etc. It is important to find help for troubled teens as soon as possible.  There are many different programs that are available to help troubled teens with the problems that they face each with a different approach and nature to the program.

Do you think Michael Jordan would have been happy just playing at the Baptist Church every Wednesday night, instead of wearing six championship rings with the Chicago Bulls?

Each of the struggling students who doesn’t do a full court press and attempt to follow through with every task they are given is acting below their potential and is walking on thin ice.  Most of these troubled teens can finish early and stay on the path of straight and narrow, if they were to be extraordinary and complete the tasks with 100% stick-to-it-tiveness.  I know this isn’t a word but I cannot think of a better way to describe staying with the projects you start as a student and as a man.

There was a struggling boy who wished to quit school and he also wished to quit his sports teams as well.  But he saw the angst of his friends when he deserted them and decided to stay on the team and follow thru with his studies.  He became the leader of the team and a high scholastic performer.  This is the power of stick-to-it-tiveness.
