In the following sentence:
曾有朋友戏称，脱发已经成为了当代青少年担忧的最大问题！屏幕前的你，是否也在感概”头发都去哪儿了“？
I don't understand what 屏幕前的你 means. 屏幕 means "screen", but then I don't understand the part 前的你.
So what does the phrase and the whole sentence mean and how does it work grammatically?
屏幕前的你
你 here refers to people in general. In this context, it refers to 当代青少年, the youth of today.
So, here 屏幕前的你 could be translated to the youth of today who are still sitting in front of screens.
屏幕前的你，是否也在感概”头发都去哪儿了“？: For those youth of today, who are still sitting in front of screens, are you still sighing with emotions and thinking "where your hair has gone?"
Split it like this: 屏幕 前 的 你
屏幕：Screen
前：before
屏幕前 means "before the screen".
This means that 'The one (you) on the other side the screen'.
The sentence seems to be in an advertisement.
Translation:
Some friends (of the speaker) joked about baldness being the most worrying problem among adolescents. And are you, who are on the other side of the screen, also worrying about where have your hairs went?
This picture tells the story. 体会体会。
It means the man who is in front of the screen.
屏目前的 is objective, represents a state, different from the state of being face to face.
