Skins is a series about teenagers. It contains social problem (poverty, mental illness, anorexia, cultural differences, broken families etc.), sexuality (but not 'I LOVE BOOBS', like in some of anime shows), drugs and alcohol abuse. Can anyone think of anything similar? I actually found a similar post on this forum, but it was from 2011 and it wasn't really helpful, so I thought that maybe now something new showed up and I could find what I'm looking for.

romance anime with is very dramatic example: 1 had an accident and has can only remember 13 hours, or another 1 that lost her parents as a kid and was abused by smn who took care of her, but it focuses more on romance
ef a tale of memories
ef a tale of melodies

welcome to nhk maybe

My favorite quotes from animes:

Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people
who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass
We are humans. - Shinsekai yori

Nana comes to my mind... although it's josei and music plays a big role in it (unlike in Skins), there is a lot of relationship problems and stuff like that, which is present in Skins. Drug related problems are also there.

The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

Shinsekai yori
Denpa Teki na Kanojo
Cross Game
Nana
Kara no Kyoukai
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin

These are pretty popular and all feature adolescents dealing with psycho traumas or finding their place in society.

You might want to try manga, you'll probably find more material. Holyland, Real (http://myanimelist.net/manga/657/Real), Mars might do for you.
