Depression, wanting to fit in, and stress are the top 3 i think, bullying should be there too. Drugs Alcohol and Sex are more in with the older teen population. Separated home/ parents going through a divorce isn't that big i don't think, not in the top 10 anyway. But stress and depression are really up their.
