This research identifies and discusses five aspects of adolescence that are of great concern to most parents. Additionally, this research considers strategies that might ameliorate the problems associated with these five aspects of adolescence. Five Troubling Aspects of Adolescence The five aspects of adolescence considered in this research are (1) disaffection from society, (2) suicide, (3) alcohol and drug use, (4) prostitution, and (5) social behavior that may lead to pregnancy and AIDS (acquired immunity deficiency syndrome) infection. Often, two or more of these aspects of adolescence are present in the same individual, and there exist strong interrelationships among these behavioral aspects of adolescence. A variety of reasons underlie the disaffection of young people from their society and their families. One of these factors is abuse both physical and psychological perpetrated by someone in a position of trust or authority in the life of a young person (Howing, 1990, pp. 244 49). One of the most debilitating outcomes of abuse experienced by a young person is a loss of self esteem (Ogata, 1990, pp. 1008 1013). Abuse, and the hopelessness and depression that often stems from abuse, frequently leads to a loss of self esteem (Madonna, 1991, pp. 46 49). The loss of self esteem leads many adolescents to consider suicide (Sanders and Giolas, 1991, pp. 50 54). The cycle of abuse, hopelessness, depression, the loss of self

unt of alcohol consumed per drinking occasion is higher among males than females. The mean consumption of alcohol per occasion, however, is lower for upper level students than for first and second year students.
There are four general groups of theories explaining the development of alcohol abuse behavior (1) learning theories holding that persons learn to use alcohol as a means of coping, and that the use eventually becomes addictive, (2) physiological theories holding variously that nutritional deficiencies and genetics lead to alcoholism, (3) psychoanalytic theories holding variously that childhood experiences, self destructive drives, feelings of inferiority and insecurity, and locus of control orientations lead to alcoholism, and (4) sociological theories holding that societal conditions lead some individuals into alcoholism (Jenkins, 1990, pp. 331 336). All of these theories have some degree of validity. Some of the theories apply to some individuals in some circumstances, while they do not apply to other individuals or even to the same individuals in other circumstances (Pardeck, 1991, pp. 341 347). Further, a
multiplicity of causes is required to explain the development of alcoholism by some individuals (En
