Challenges

A survey of 12 confirmation students found that the biggest challenges they face are issues with self-esteem, feeling like a failure, and study and peer pressure. Substance abuse was reported as the least of challenges. When asked what they want to change, most students said strengthening their faith, overcoming fears, and discovering their purpose in life. Most students also prefer talking to someone as a way to cope with challenges.

Challenges Students Face

Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 Student 4


Student 5 Student 6 Student 7 Student 8
Student 9 Student 10 Student 11 Student 12

The above data was collected from a total of 12


students from the confirmation class. As the data
shows, most students face a critical issue in self-
esteem, majority of students stating it as a major
challenge they face. This is followed by study pressure
and peer pressure, as these two issues were highly
rated by the students. Feeling lie a failure, is another
challenge most face, as most students stated this as a
major problem they face. Substance abuse is
apparently not a challenge faced by the confirmation
students, as many stated it the least of the challenge
they face. All other categories are also least of a
challenge.
The two main challenges as the data shows:
1)Self-Esteem/ Body Image/ Feeling like a failure
2)Study pressure/ Peer pressure & Competition
The other variables are not significant for our
camp, though it may be wise to be touched upon.
What would you like to change about yourself or your
life?

More Confident Discover Purpose in life
Get along better with family/ parents

The table above shows what the teenagers have listed


as their priority to change in their lives. Strengthening
ones faith has topped the list as most of the students
voted for a change in that aspect. This is followed by
overcoming fears and discovering purpose in life.
From the survey, it was also gathered that most
teenagers prefer talking to someone as a method to
deal with challenges. Out of the total, only two stated
that they prefer listening to music as a method of
coping. Many students stated that their coping
mechanisms does not last for a long period of time, and
eventually they sink into their challenges again.
