The term "troubled teens" refers to adolescents who are experiencing emotional, behavioral or psychological difficulties that can interfere with their daily lives. These issues may include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, defiance, aggression, or other conduct problems. Troubled teens often struggle in school, have difficulty maintaining relationships with peers and family members, and may engage in risky behaviors that can put them in danger. They may require additional support, such as therapy, counseling, or even residential treatment to address their challenges and improve their quality of life.
