The teen years
are a time of pressure, intense pressure. One of the difficulties with the
pressure is the fact that teens are often trying to make other people happy and
not even knowing their own identity. That puts them at risk for all sorts of
problems. The pressure that arises during the teen years can’t be ignored, nor
can it be underestimated. If you have a teen, make sure that you communicate
with them. Let them know the stories and issues that are out there, and above
all, make sure you take the time to speak with them.
