3. Do teenagers have problems?
Teenagers are human, so of course they have problems. And the problems aren't very different from anyone else's.
What's going to happen at work/school tomorrow?
Why does Dad like my sister better than me?
Am I too fat / skinny / tall / short etc.?
Does my boyfriend / girlfriend really like me?
How can I afford to buy ................ ?
Am I stupid?
There isn't anyone alive in the world who hasn't posed these questions. We usually do it when we turn out the light and lie down in bed at night and the answers aren't very satisfactory!
It's true, of course, that sometimes teenagers have special problems. It is a difficult time because it is a period of transformation. It isn't quite as bad as a chrysalis changing into a butterfly. It isn't easy to grow up and the physical and emotional changes are often confusing and worrying. But it's my impression that most young people cope rather well.
