The trauma of bullying, harshness of parents & feeling of isolation even amongst a crowd makes an adolescent brood and suffer from anxiety & depression. They need to be heard and their innocence & sensitivity valued and appreciated. No one rebels without a cause, their vulnerabilities push them into a fit of rage & resistance. Their resentment, fears and anxieties are real. They need to be reassured before they fall into a guilt trap while untangling their internal conflicts.  Curiosity in adolescents demands safe space to articulate their thoughts without being judged and unsolicited intervention.
