Growing up can be difficult, and as much as preteens go through while transitioning to the teenage years, it's no wonder many of them find themselves in the middle of some troubling challenges. Parents, teachers, and other adults can help troubled youth by being supportive, and by setting fair limits. Below are a few ways preteens can stumble into trouble, as well as some solutions to help them when they fall.

1. Risk Taking and the Teen Years

There are many ways in which troubled youth express themselves. For some it's through risk taking. Actually, it's not just troubled youth who take chances. Risk taking is common among teens and preteens, partly because they truly do believe they are invincible. Risk taking can include binge drinking, having sex, and taking chances with their own safety.

2. Troubled Youth and Substance Abuse

Many parents believe that the risks of smoking, underage drinking, and drugs are reserved for teenagers. Unfortunately, many preteens engage in underage drinking, smoking, or other abusive dangers, such as inhalants. Knowing the signs that your child is using alcohol, or drugs can help you combat the problem earlier rather than later.

3. Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety can strike children as well as adults, and in both cases it can be a difficult and challenging obstacle. Children who are depressed will often pull away from friends, have trouble sleeping, or they may change their eating habits, among other possible symptoms. If you suspect your child may be suffering from depression or anxiety, it would be wise to contact your child's doctor for an evaluation.

In addition, research has shown that physical activity can help with depression and anxiety symptoms – so schedule a little physical activity every day.
