How do you deal with troubled teens?

Anymore it seems that all teens are troubled. There's so much pressure and it's coming at them from every direction....teachers expect them to excel in school, coaches expect them to excel in athletics, friends expect them to go along with the latest trends- whether that be drugs, clothes, tattoos or whatever. What should parents expect? It would be unrealistic to think that parents don't pressure their teens as well. It almost seems as if pressure is used as a means of teaching children. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I know I do it...but is there a better way?
