Teen Challenges
A time of phenomenal change
The teenage years can be tricky to navigate.
Phenomenal change takes place in a relatively short space of time, across all areas of life: physical, emotional, intellectual and social. The external and internal changes experienced can be stressful, disorientating and overwhelming: hormonal fluctuations, shifts in parental and societal expectations, increasing school and peer pressure, a changed perception of body image, pressure to make longer term choices.
It's easy to feel misunderstood and to react awkwardly or uncooperatively as a result. It can be a struggle to articulate innermost thoughts and feelings. The teen brain is still developing, so decisions made may not produce the best outcomes; they can lack a measure of judgement.
Understanding how to negotiate this important period of time can spare some of the pitfalls, struggles, emerging insecurities and mental health issues.
As a teen are you...
-
Struggling to find a place amongst peers, within society or the community?
-
Stressed, disorganised or time poor?
-
Feeling a weight of expectation from teachers, parents or community. Or pressure from peers?
-
Lacking inspirational role models and mentors in life?
-
Glued to tech most of the time?
-
Emotionally volatile? Anxious, depressed, frustrated, snappy, angry, disobliging, resentful…
-
Tempted to escape feelings by adopting unhealthy patterns with drugs and alcohol?
-
Experiencing online or offline bullying?
-
Engaging in unsettling behaviour?
-
Generally fine but finding it tricky to negotiate life changes?
When you catch yourself engaging in critical self-talk, take the comment and reframe it in a positive way.
