Teen and Young!!!

TEENAGE FADS      

         " Hey there massi, I turned 13 today. I am a teenager now” that’s how my cousin’s son hysterically spoke to me over the phone when I called him to wish on his birthday.. I spoke to him for a while gave him some pep talks as he had entered into a new phase of life.. Later after hanging up I thought what was so special about being a teenager.

    

         Its an age when you come out of your comfort zone and explore the world in your own possible way. But let me add some more to it, its also an age where you love bubblegums, texting, facebook, coffee and rock music. It’s an age where you feel you are old enough to feel truly an adult, to make decisions that affect the rest of your life, also old enough to FALL IN LOVE, yet, at the same time too young to be free to make a lot of those decisions without someone else's approval (I would tag parents in this). Such a complicated yet the most joyful and cheerful days of ones life. However  stress, peer pressure, negative thoughts, depressions, drugs, rash driving, broken hearts etc.  add more complexity to an already confused teenager. Isn’t that true? 

            I proudly say that I have successfully gone through this stage of life and cherish it the most.. Oops!! Don’t get me wrong. I too had my own share of  bad experiences, wrong decisions, crushes, peer pressure.. But what actually mattered was how I tackled them with immense support of my loving and understanding parents.

        Infact off late we do surf daily newspapers and come across so many suicide cases by teenagers   REASON- did not fair well in exams, my girlfriend betrayed me, the list goes on and on with such trivial issues.. Are these reasons to end ones life??..Is this all they (teenagers) know about life.

        Thanks to different organisations that have come up with counseling, individual therapy, recreational therapy, coping skills and relaxation therapy and spirituality to name a few.

The young blood which flows with full vigor in the veins of these teenagers need to be directed and moulded in such a way that they ‘make their life and not mar their life’.

          So my chirpy bunch of teenagers we all know that adolescent age is a spiny web which you need to tackle skillfully. Take this straight from my heart - cheat fear, break up with doubts and cling on tightly to faith and self-confidence. Give it a try, it does work.
