There are many factors that can contribute to youth alienation, including:

• Poverty: Young people who live in poverty are more likely to experience stress, trauma, and other challenges that can lead to alienation.
• Violence: Young people who are exposed to violence are more likely to feel unsafe, anxious, and depressed. They may also be more likely to engage in risky behaviors as a way of coping with their trauma.
• Lack of opportunity: Young people who do not have access to quality education, employment, and recreation opportunities are more likely to feel hopeless and disconnected from their communities.
• Systemic racism: Young people of color are more likely to experience racism and discrimination, which can lead to feelings of anger, resentment, and alienation.
