Teenagers and Adolescents
Teenagers!!
Don’t you just love them! Actually I think they are
fantastic, fascinating, vibrant, sometimes confused individuals.
They can get a bit complicated at times and it’s no
wonder. The pressures on them today are massive. Adolescence
has always been a trial and for those of us who have gone
through it, most of us would say we wouldn’t choose
to do it again. Nowadays these young people are expected
to get 17 GCSE’s, to look fabulous all the time in
designer clothes; they live in a culture of “celebrity
and vacuous-ness ”; they have easy access to some
scary and dangerous drugs etc.
 Luckily
there is hope! These people are, after all, the future,
and the vast majority of them are simply trying to find
their own identity in a confusing and demanding society.
Bad behaviour doesn’t mean a bad person. Most bad
behaviour is a result of frustration and not knowing how
to deal with conflicting emotions.
If
you have problems within your family, do ring me up and
have a chat.
