Issue being an issue? (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

problem children

'issue' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'being an issue?' is the wordplay.
'being an' becomes 'problem' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'issue?' becomes 'children' (I've seen this before).
'problem'+'children'='PROBLEM CHILDREN'

(Another definition for problem children that I've seen is " one finds hard to bring up".)
