Poverty and unemployment, violence, political instability, and emigration are frequently the norm in their native countries.

Wealthier teens, on the other hand, are sheltered from harshness and enjoy private schools, vacations abroad, and access to American consumer products. Yet family is important no matter what the class, and most of these teens share a love of parties, music, and current fashions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLatin America and the Caribbean are important regions to the United States, since large numbers of Americans can trace their roots there. \u003ci\u003eTeen Life in Latin America and the Caribbean\u003c\/i\u003e allows U.S. teens to understand the unique challenges and opportunities of teens in 15 Latin American or Caribbean countries.
