"Improving the self-esteem of high school students is a rewarding challenge for both educator and parents. Self-esteem affects the way a student learns, works, and builds relationships. Positive self-esteem enhances the student's ability to take personal and social responsibility. Since adolescence is a period of insecurity and experimentation when teenagers struggle with their self-awareness and self-confidence, it is critical that the important adults in the teenager's life possess the strategies needed to develop and maintain positive self-esteem.
Self-esteem encompasses all that an individual perceives himself or herself to be, and takes on two characteristics: global and temporary. Global self-esteem is the overall evaluation of a person. Temporary self-esteem relates to a ... "

The intent in this paper is to explore that issue of self-esteem, learning how low self-esteem develops and how it impacts the individual.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the issue of teenagers working part-time jobs. The writer points out that research shows that teenagers who work ten to fifteen hours a week do learn responsibility. However, the writer also notes that teenagers who work over ten hours a week have problems academically and socially. The writer maintains that teenagers who work do better if they work less than ten hours a week, because students who work too many hours experience academic, social, and personal consequences.
From the Paper
""Approximately 75% to 90% of adolescents are employed at any one time during the school year" (Hansen and Jarvis 2000, 417). Considering the statistics on adolescents working, the question arises whether it is beneficial or harmful for students to work. How does it affect the academics of teenagers? Does it affect them socially? These are important questions for parents to ask. Research shows that teenagers who work ten to fifteen hours a week learn responsibility, but teenagers who work over ten hours a week have problems academically and socially."

Abstract
This paper investigates the identification of the underlying reasons for the continuing high levels of unemployment among African-American teenagers with a specific focus on African-American teenagers in the Syracuse MSA. The objective of the proposed research study is to develop reliable information that provides a basis for the development of initiatives that will lead to higher employment levels (and, conversely, lower levels of unemployment) among African American teenagers. The paper also suggests possible solutions to the problem of continuing high levels of unemployment.
From the Paper
"Sustained economic growth in the United States over the past five years has caused the national unemployment rate to fall below five-percent in 1999. The 3.8 percent unemployment rate in November 1999 (the latest month for which such data have been reported) is a full percentage point lower that the rate in January 1999 and 47.9 percent lower than the 7.3 percent unemployment rate in January 1994. This level of unemployment is the lowest that has been sustained for any period of time in the United States for decades. Because of the low overall rate of unemployment in the United States, many people (both politicians and the general public) appear to think that unemployment has become a non-issue in contemporary life. The fact is, however, that unemployment remains a critical issue in this country when the overall rate of unemployment is disaggregated to reveal the rates of unemployment among specific population groups such as minority males generally (but especially African males), and teenagers generally (but especially African American teenagers). For such population groups, the improvement in the overall unemployment situation has transformed their plight from one of utter disaster to one of debilitating frustration, as their rates of unemployment remain in excess of 12 percent. For African American teenagers, the unemployment rate reached 31.3 percent in March 1999 before dropping to 28.4 percent in November 1999."

Abstract
This paper examines how according to recent surveys, there has been a rise in the use of illicit drugs amongst teenagers and in particular, ecstasy. It also looks at how drugs have become become more readily available in a variety of markets such as the internet, in order to cover a wider area for distribution. It evaluates how teenagers have been a prime source for these internet-dealers and while certain drugs have seen a drop in their use, it is only because they have been replaced by more illicit and easier to obtain drugs.
From the Paper
"This increase in the use of Ecstasy has been partially blamed on its increase in availability. The Institute?s results showed that ?the proportion of 12th-graders saying that they could get it "fairly" to "very" easily [rose] from 51% in 2000 to 62% in 2001? (Ecstasy Usage, para 4). It is believed that turnaround in drug use occurs when young people realize that the use of the drug is dangerous, as has been noted in anti-drug campaigns targeting marijuana use and heroin, but in the case of Ecstasy, teenagers are not regarding the drug to be dangerous enough to discontinue using it."

Grief Counseling for Teenagers after the Death of a Friend, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines the way teenagers deal with the death of a friend and how it differs from the way adults might grieve and talks about the issues that must be dealt with when trying to resolve a loss and dealing with grief. The paper stresses the importance of grief counseling and how those teenagers that do receive counseling after the death of a friend generally come out of their grief better adjusted and capable of handling the world than those who have locked their grief up inside and simply keep it private.
From the Paper
"When a friend dies, teenagers handle that grief differently than adults would, but they still grieve very deeply. Much of their pain and grief comes from the fact that most teenagers lose friends to sudden death, such as traffic accidents, than to anticipated death, such as might come from cancer or other progressive illnesses. Whatever the cause of death, however, grief counseling is vitally important for these young people so that they can adjust to the death and become accepting of it. This is the only way that they will move on with their lives and learn to enjoy things once again. This is not the same as asking them to forget their friend or the pain that they feel at their friend's passing, but is rather asking them to learn ways to cope with the pain, so that it is not always present and life can move on."

From the Paper
"Transportation is one of the major issues that is addressed in the NSF report. School bus time tables are set to extremely complicated schedules, and changing these according to changing school schedules would mean large investments. Extracurricular and community programs outside of school hours are also affected by later starting times. There is less daytime to commit to such activities if schools were to start later. This is then also related to safety and travel issues, as there are dangers associated with late extracurricular activities. It is therefore very important to take all of these issues into account when considering change to a school schedule."

Technology and Teenagers, 2008.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the workforce of the future is getting through school with the assistance of technology on a level that has never been experienced before. Technology is creating a savvy population of Internet and IT users. The paper then looks at how, along with the positives of this rapid advancement, are the negatives of being able to break the rules and take shortcuts and how the Internet is easily used to get one step ahead of the teacher. The paper contends that responsibility for the positive use of technology is not solely the creators to maintain and that teenagers need to take responsibility for the amount of hours they spend online or attached to some piece of technology--too much of a good thing always becomes a bad thing.
From the Paper
"Teenagers, parents and teachers all agree that the internet is a very powerful and positive educational tool when used correctly. Thirty-seven percent of teens say that their peers use the internet to cheat on their school work while 27% of parents agree (Dixon et al., 2005). Where are the teachers in this deception? Proctoring exams is rapidly becoming a business of its own. Teachers and school administrators who may not be as technology savvy as students are hiring companies to administer end of year exams to cut down on the chases of a student cheating on a final exam."

Teenagers and Grief, 2004.
An overview of how adolescents grieve and ways to help them get through the grieving period.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that teenagers do not deal with grief in the same ways as small children or as adults. In some ways, the teenager is inexperienced and not usually ready to deal with the life changes that may occur and cause grief. In other ways, teens already have a profound understanding of death and loss and pain. The paper argues that both of these aspects of the teenage existence must be recognized and accepted by those around them in order to help the teenager cope. While grief has been viewed as a purely negative experience by some people, today it is widely accepted that the grieving process is an opportunity for spiritual and emotional growth and change. Grief is painful, but it can also be a healing and learning experience. The paper shows that helping teenagers to find a way to best work through the process of grief during the confusion of hormonal, physical, and social changes of adolescence is a difficult task, but there is a great deal of assistance available from literature and counseling professionals. Acknowledging the pain and individuality of the teenager in grief is essential to guiding him or her through the process.

From the Paper
"Taking into consideration the fact that ?a young adult's reactions to death and its aftermath may be similar to that of an adult but...with fewer resources and abilities and less maturity to deal with them... This lack of coping skills is overlaid by their main developmental task of balancing role confusion with ?the struggle to establish an identity that . . . accommodates individual paths to the expectations of society and family,?? (DeMinco) it is also important to recall why it is so vital to acknowledge the uniqueness of the varying ways in which teenagers will deal with grief. Needing freedom, guidelines, privacy, and intimate relationships all at the same time is an expected experience for the teenager as he or she attempts to find individuality as well as comfort in times of need. The unfortunate reality, however, is how often teenagers are ignored or misunderstood by the adults who try to offer support in times of grief. ?Adolescents commonly report a lack of support and disappointment at not receiving help from adults at this time.? (DeMinco) Extended periods of the denial or anger stages of the grieving process often exist for the misunderstood teenager."
