Kids Will Be Kids
An important thing that adults need to be reminded when it comes to teenagers is that they need support. The way they feel is different and their moods change easily. They have a lot of emotions going on that they do not understand. It would help if adults could be there to talk to them and understand. Life is changing completely for them. There are so many events that are happening to them and so many choices that need to be made. Teenagers start to face some adult responsibilities. Teenagers have to decide what exactly they want to do for the rest of their life. They need support when it comes to things like going to college or even going to try out for a club or sport.. Especially when it comes to those things they are putting their self in an uncomfortable place. If they don’t have support it is easy for them to give up. Teens are easily discouraged because everything that is coming up in life is different and they do not know what to do. Sometimes it feels like they are competing. Everything then seems like a race to see who can do what first. There are so many options and it becomes very overwhelming. If teenagers had an adult that supported them it would be such a positive thing. When teens have their own personal cheerleader they have the confidence and the support that they feel like they can do anything.
