Teen resistance. This is where the youths resist to change even though they are counseled especially due to peer influence. They are afraid to be excommunicated or abandoned from the groups such as smoking groups. They fail to initiate the guidelines offered to them by the experts. It becomes a challenge since there are no achieved goals. In such a case, they do not know the workability help of Teen Counseling.

Illiteracy is as well a challenge hat is faced by professions in this field. Lack of education among the teen is a greater determinant to increased antisocial behaviors in the area. For this reason, youths they are not able to apply what they are guided to do by their counselors. Again, they lack knowledge to discern what is right from what is bad. Hence, this should be an issue that need to be addressed. It can be done by ensuring youths are all educated.

Consequently, a qualified personnel in in this field must be skilled in asking questions. This helps in capturing the problematic issues which helps in laying a good framework in alleviating them. They as well identify the attitude and perception of the young towards change. In order to know whether the message is driven home, this quality is very essential. More so in gathering more information for research purposes.

On the other hand, inadequate counseling resources have become a big problem. These may include vehicles, good and conducive places as well as other essential resources. They are very important in helping access different places in enhancement of their profession. Although there have been claims of expertise using their own resources. The action has disabled the efforts of many people since they lack support. Hence, organizations, institutions as well as other firms should partner with this field.

Socialization. This involves bringing the youths together from different parts and backgrounds. This enhances interaction where the teen shares views an ideas with other teens thereby enhancing togetherness and cohesiveness. This is through organizing conferences and crusades for the youths where counselors have ample time to guide and give advice to the youths on how to cope with day to day problems n teach them how to lead a good life.

Proper communication styles. Include, audio-visual, written and oral approaches. Audio-visual includes use of pictures, videotapes, charts among others to make the message understood better. In written, journals, books, articles among other materials to read and be informed on how to live upright lives. Oral communication, involves one to one dialogue which is more important when feedback is needed. Especially in answering questions and in discussions.

Lack of governmental and community support is another problem faced. In ensuring that youths are well integrated, unity and support is essential. The government may assist through offering capital, resources and security as well. Community may work together collaboratively to ensure the success of this practice. Although such fields lack the presence of these relevant bodies which becomes a challenge to them. It is therefore with great concern that government and community involve in enhancing youth cancelling.

Ignorant among many teens to undertake guidance is another problem. Failure of youths to attend these programs has challenged their facilitation. More so, they ignore whatever guide and fail to apply in their daily experiences. This increases their vulnerability in doing what is not right. Efforts of reaching such young people become futile. Hence becoming difficult to help them live a examined life.
