United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Out of curiosity, what problems are you referring to?
I think this is an example:
This doesn't provide any insight into the problems young people are facing, only the consequences.
I think health problems are one type of problem that young people are facing, and the news has talked about mental health in particular being a growing problem for young people.
Lack of employment generally (not just health related) seems to be a problem - apparently the percentage of young people who aren't in employment, education, or training is increasing.
I think Sir Gareth has identified some of the problems too. Lack of healthy role models, abundance of unhealthy role models. Abundance of porn, especially unhealthy porn. Negative effects of social media. Etc.
