Concerned We are

The journey of the teens’ – ours - is enthralling and complicated. Problems at school, social clashes, relationship trouble – we have many reasons to view life as being full of obstacles.

However, here are some ways to start feeling better:

1. TALK IT OVER: Open up to people you trust.

2. TAKE CHARGE: Do something that makes you feel in control.

3. GET EXPERT ADVICE: Seek out to your guidance counsellor or, to stay anonymous, call a helpline or crisis line.

4. DO SOMETHING YOU’RE GOOD AT: Whatever reminds you that you’re capable.

5. TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME: Don’t worry about the long-term consequences.

6. LAUGH: Watch a funny show or joke with friends: Laughter is a great stress reliever.

Last but not least, kindness and caring should always be in the minds and practised, for they are a best catalyst towards a higher level of humanity and a greater perpetuation of love.
