Adolescence is always an unsettling time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life. It is not unusual for young people to experience "the blues" for feel "down" occasionally. May teens feel that life is not fair or that things never go their way. They feel stressed out and confused. Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejection and can lead to deep disappointment. To make matters worse, they are bombarded by conflicting messages from parents, friends and society. Today's teens see more of what life has to offer - both good and bad. Teens need adult guidance more than ever to understand all the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing.
