Something that's very overlooked. Almost the entire 8 billion suffer from it. Yet still, we don't give it the attention that it needs. When you search on Google the top challenges that teens face; you will find anxiety and depression. It's always overlooked by adults. They think that their of their daily problems and their mental health is something that no kid could ever experience. They most response for a parent when their kid tells them that their overwelmed, stressed, or even sad is, "What do you have to worry or be sad about?. Or to rephase the response, "You don't have anything to worry about. Stop messinh around and be thankful. The world is much darker. Oh, to be young again". The funny thing is that; they don't know that were already in the real world. Yes, maybe we don't have to raise a house, or feed our kids, or have a job. But we also have problems; Worry and sadness is measure by age. NO ONE! No one, should ever measure and cancel others feelings compared to them. It's just toxic and selfish. We are human beings. We all have feeling even if they aren't shown. Life punches all of us with it's events. No ome is free from them. The thing is that parents/adults, don't realise is that; when they don't acknowledge our feelings they worsen it. It keeps building and building till it becomes unstoppable. Then at they end, they don't even recognize the child's problem, the one that they caused. All these see that he becomes more aggressive, a little unrespectful, and maybe if they have a good eye, ignorant. What they don't realise that this kid reach out for help and they didn't acknowledge him. By reach out, it doesn't have to be them actually telling them. It may be; an aggressive action, an unexpected disaster, a fight between them, a "No thanks", or a "I don't want to", and even it may be complete silence. Every child and every situation differs. Yes, I know they aren't that free to keep track of every cough, but they're still you kid. You need to give them attention. Also, your thought of giving them attention may be very different from their view, and take care every one needs a different time of attention. Note: this is also the type of thing that each situation differs from the another from. Take care of this situation especially because if you don't acknowledge it may lead to another issue. If you kids come and talk to you something and you push them away. They will find someone to hear them. If they come to you for comfort, and you don't have time for them. The will go to the thing that relaxes them. Like pills, bad friends, pain killers, cigarettes, vape, and etc. Do to do avoid these. We have this blog. To find a new perspective. To find a motive. To find a anchor.
