What problems do teenage carers have? How should the government help them?

In our society, there is a considerable percentage of young people who become carers during the adolescence. They must look after a relative with a mental or a physical disease or with some kind of addiction. In this way, in order to deal with this complicated situation, these younger carers must face a lot of problems every day.
Firstly, the routine of a teenager carer is stressful and exhausting. Apart from being at the disposal of a special person, which must be really sad and hard, they also have to deal with their own studies, and sometimes do the housework. As a result, they neither have almost time neither to rest nor for some time-off and also feel quite lonely.
Secondly, many young carers do not receive any support from the government, who should finance all the required help. It is obvious that a teenage cannot afford the same as an adult and they really need counselling and, of course, professional adults who assist them at home.
All in all, teenage carers deal a really difficult life at a too young age. To facilitate them things, they should get governmental economic help to become freer and get over the trauma they live.
