There are 3 of the many theories about what causes kids to turn
into troubled teens. The most likely of all ideas is that there
is no one reason - it's a combination of reasons. These reasons
are probably as varied as the kids experiencing problems. It's
necessary to figure out what these reasons are so that troubled
teens receive the individualized help they need.
Generally, troubled teens lose sight of their goals in life and
some exert negative influences on others. Parents cannot afford
to witness their children ruin their lives and others. There are
many boarding schools, military schools, boot camps, wilderness
programs, brat camp, religious programs, institutions etc. all
over the nation that parents can send their kids to, in order to
help these misguided young adults to reassess and regain control
of their lives.
Only by pinpointing the cause of each teen's problems and then
creating mutual effort between parents, school personnel,
possible medical treatment, and the young adults themselves can
troubled teens overcome difficulties and realize their full
potential.
