Why?

Due to CO2 emissions, landfills, oil spills, the greenhouse effect and other factors, Global Warming has been taking a heavier impact on our lives and our planet, day by day. Recently, this issues has been overlooked because of Covid pandemic and the Ukrainian War. However, we must not forget that we must preserve our planet and leave a healthier one for the future generations. 
To conclude, even though this issue has been overlooked, we must take action to protect our planet urgently.

We strongly believe that climate change is a serious problem that affects everyone but somehow the pressure to solve it relies on teenagers. This seems unfair because although  we are the generation that is going to have to deal with the consequences of climate change, everyone has the obligation to try to stop it or at least to slow down the deteoration of our planet.
So we all call our leaders’ attention to this major problem and to do something before it’s too late.
Other problems that we are very worried about are: sexual harassment, school pressure and Covid-19.

 From our point of view the issue that's more relevant for us teens is mental health. Around 20% of teenagers in Europe have been diagnosed with some sort of mental health illness. But many more of us have some type of symptom related mostly with anxiety and depression. The causes are known to be many, from stress because of school work, problems at home, low elf-esteem and self image. These issues which can be related to bullying, cyber bullying and social media influence.
 The reason we believe that some of us don't look for psychological help when we feel like they need it, it's because of all the stigma that still exists about mental health, and some of us don't have the maturity to face these problems related to mental health in order to get the help we need.
 We strongly believe that governments should invest more money to deal with mental health issues, by preventing and treating it. We can never be active citizens if we are not mentally and physically healthy

This is a relevant problem because we as teens are the ones who will live the consequences as active citizens of the future.
Nowadays the war that’s happening in Europe is just going to worsen the financial instability and is making teens' future even harder.
All in all, we think that the government should focus on these issues in order to be able to give a good future to the next generations.

Other issue that we can menssion is the use of drugs and alcohol, due to a lot of factors, such as peer pressure form friends and depression. It has big consequences for our mental and pysical health and it can even lead to death. 
In conclusion there are more problems than the ones we mentioned but we consider these ones the most relevant on our daily lifes as teenagers.
