One of the fears that teenagers face is the fear of not having a true friend to share their secrets with.
Maybe an adult like me never really has to think of it as I have my family members to turn to.
But teenagers are not the same. They are selective of their own family members for (another) fear of being laughed at. In short, they may end up feeling helpless........
So, parents out there.... and a reminder to me..... try ask our children if there is anything they wish to share with us. After a 1000 no's , they might say 'yes'. Hence, keep trying.... give them the opportunity to open up.......... and learn to keep our mouth shut while they relate to us their experience / problems.
They do have one.
