  2. Mental health does not only refer to the absence of mental illness but also the ability and willingness to face the challenges that life throws at you. Everyone's mental health is just as important as their physical health. Teens often experiment with their appearances, behaviors, and attitudes.

  3. While most of these experiments are harmless, some may produce disastrous results. Many mental health problems that youth and children experience include stress, anxiety, harassments, family problems, depression, learning disabilities, and other issues. Youth are experiencing more serious mental health issues, including suicide attempts and self-injurious behavior. If a youth is struggling with mental health issues such as depression, unsteadiness due to family, academic or social pressures, they will not be able to succeed academically and personally. Negative consequences include increased academic failure, social isolation and unsafe sexual behavior. According to a recent report, the rising rate of mental and emotional problems in American children and youth is a sign that there is a crisis.

  4. More children and teens are being affected by depression, anxiety, attention deficits, conduct disorders, suicidal thoughts, and other serious psychological issues. According to conservative estimates, one in ten children and teens suffers from severe mental illness that can cause impairment. Unfortunately, many children and teens don't receive the support they need even if it is detected earlier. According to some reports, most children and teens who require a mental health assessment do not receive them and the use rates for mental health services are low. Adults and parents must look after the mental health of their youth. Parents and adults should talk to the youth and be role models. They must also advise them to make good friends and keep track of their activities.
