TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS

If You are a Teen, or Young Adult:


You’ve Likely Had More Than Enough!
You’ve had enough life experience already to know that you’ve had enough. Enough rules,
enough being scared or worried or anxious, enough violence, bullying, or being unsafe, enough confusion, failing, not being heard or feeling like you don’t fit in. Likely, you have had more than your fill of problems at home or at school and feel like your wants or needs are not
considered.
 

Chances are your parents or guardians are having a hard time understanding what it’s like to be you. The reality is, being a teen or young adult can be a daunting and overwhelming experience and your family and other adults around you often don’t see the world from your perspective or know how to help. Even if you figure you can survive this stage, is ‘survival’ really all you deserve?
