My video is about teenagers in our informal settlement. The challenges they face being a teenager. In our community, there are no counselors who might help teens who are going through difficulties. Teenagers never get a chance to express their feelings, they end up falling under peer pressure because they have nobody to talk to.

 

The social problems that teenagers go through are depression, bullying, sexual activity, drug use, alcohol use and peer pressure. Some end up doing things they may regret and after on they need love and support from parents. In our community, parents don’t usually sit and have discussion with their children.
