Mission Australia's 2015 youth survey has revealed that more than half of young people believe there are barriers which will prevent them reaching their goals when they leave school. The focus of the 2015 survey was to uncover what young people perceive to be the main barriers to success. The results revealed that academic ability, financial difficulty and a lack of job opportunities are believed to negatively affect a young person's ability to achieve their goals in life.Alcohol and drugs were found to be an increasing concernYoung people continue to report that coping with stress and school/study problems are top issues of concernJust over one in ten respondents indicated that they saw family responsibilities and physical or mental health as barriers to achieving their study/work goals
