Teens and Young Adults

Are these the best days of my life?

Do you remember that song that said something like being a teenager was supposed to be so great?

But as you have found out, being a teenager is more challenging than expected. You’ve put many demands and high expectations on yourself or received them from parents, teachers, and others. It is overwhelming.

I want my independence – but.

You want to be independent and treated like an adult at this stage.

And yet, these years are difficult to navigate. Your parents keep telling you one thing, your friends are doing another, and social media is everywhere saying everything.

Confusion, anxiety, depression, and isolation are becoming more common.

No one understands me.

Under all the pressures of today, you question who you are and what you should be doing.

Thoughts can spiral down, and you start thinking, “I’m not _________ enough.” With each passing thought, you put a different word in the blank space – “good,” “smart,” or “worthy.”

No one else could feel this way and no one to talk with. It might not always seem like it, but there is help; you don’t have to be alone.

Parents, please note.

The world your child is growing up in differs significantly from your childhood. Pressures and influences are everywhere.

It can seem like you’ve tried everything possible to help nurture and guide your teen or young adult. You may have thought, “Am I helping or hurting my child.”

You try your best to be there for them, asking about school, friends, and sports. And you keep following their social media accounts, looking for any clue into how they are doing.

Unfortunately, you feel out of ideas and are looking for help.
