It’s not easy being a teenager. You’re expected to start acting like an adult even though you might not be treated like one. Adolescence is a unique developmental period in our lives. Hormones are raging, friends mean so much more (it seems) than family, and the “what do I do after high school” can be a looming. It’s no wonder so many teens feel anxious. Between the demands of school, family, and friends, it can be difficult to express your true self in these different settings. Knowing who you are is an ongoing process throughout life
Adolescence and teenage years are critical phases of development during which young individuals navigate various challenges and transitions.
