Its clear that many teenagers are breaking down in college.but most of the issues affecting them are at playwell before they get to college age.

If you wish to understand that what is happening with young adults, it is wise to focus on the teen agers.We have all heard about the male loners who suddenly blows people up,like the pipe bomber or the columbine kids.We are now learning about the girls who are agressive as the boys but who are indirect in their aggression, the so-called mean girls syndrome.They are the most visible symbol of some disturbing trends.By any measure, our young people are in trouble.Rates of deppression and anxiety are soaring and getting worse. Possibly one out of three teens will end up with significant clinical depression needing treatment.Their suicide rates have tripled.We need to take actions.If you are the parent,or the siblings or the teenagers, or come in contact with them on a regular basis, there is information you need to have and strategies to adopt.I want to focus this articles on those teenagers.

To get mixed up with those teenagers never make any assumptions that you really know what is going on. recognize that you are ignorant even though you would love to believe that you are not.teenagers represent the most classic case of what you see is not what you get.One major reason that the parents are out of touch is that to be in touch takes a great deal of time and parents are just too hurried.

Appreciate how different their worl is from ours, and express yourself to the culture your kids are immersed in.Look on it as an anthropological exploration.ask kids what they are paying attention to. watch MTS for half an hour everyday for a couple of weeks.Ask your kids to show you some of their favourite computer games.Look at the magazine the teen girls read. Go online to good teen websites.

The ultimate thing is that let your kids know that you are really interested in learning about them and their lives without judging or controlling and that it can be at their time and in their way.Make yourself available at the most convenient time because your kid might come to you at the very bad time of the day to open up to you, they want to talk to you when you are exhausted in bed.

There are many reasons why deppression is rampant in young people.They face unprecedented pressure to succeed. The college race is harder and more uncertain than ever.As the pressure has increased, so has anxiety, because adults are not there to teach kids how to handle it.Its exploding in eating disorders,anxiety disorders and aggression.
