Does Canada have loads of social problems amongst teenagers?

[Needful Sinner]

hmmm, define 'loads'.

Canada in my humble opinion doesn't have any less or any more 'social problems' than any other developed country, with those problems being the exact same as any other developed country.
What defines whether it is a problem or not rests wholy on upbringing and support given in trying times.

Yes social media has it's pitfalls, there are predators - there are kids who get so wrapped up in teen angst and drama online they get blinded to what's real and solvable.
Others get so fixated my music videos and such they figure they themselves require the same dimensions as a barbie doll.
Drugs do exist and the temptation is the exact same as when I was young be it pot cigarettes or alcohol.

How able you are at parenting is what makes the difference, regardless of country of origin.

I was raised in Vancouver, by a single mom no less... I think I turned out fine, I am of sound mind and body, despite only reaching Grade 12 in education I feel I'm adequately learned and express myself well. And quite obviously there would be some who fell through the cracks - but I hardly blame Canada for it.
Despite peer pressure and how difficult it can be being a teen, Canada has advantages that perhaps aren't on your radar that prove equally as beneficial.

Healthcare, sports, a tolerant society, precious little violence, an excellent education system and other intangables.

There are pros and cons to everything, but I hope Canada provides a good yin and yang balance.
Of note, as much as there may be social problems, there exists also people and organizations to help people through exactly that.
Best of luck for your family regardless of which way the wind blows
