Each group is unique!

Teenagers today are growing up in a world vastly different from previous generations. With the rise of social media, academic pressures, peer influence, and mental health struggles, they face unique challenges that can significantly impact their self-esteem, resilience, and overall well-being.

• Social Media & Comparison: Constant exposure to curated, filtered realities can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and unrealistic expectations. Studies show that excessive social media use increases self-comparison by 27% and contributes to higher rates of stress and depression.
• Peer Pressure & Identity Struggles: The desire to fit in often leads to difficult choices and external validation-seeking, making it harder for teens to develop a strong sense of self. Research indicates that self-affirmation techniques help teens resist negative peer pressure by 38%.
• Stress & Anxiety: School demands, future uncertainties, and societal expectations contribute to high levels of chronic stress and burnout. Positive psychology strategies, such as gratitude and mindfulness, have been shown to reduce stress by 31% and improve emotional resilience.
