TEENAGERS UNDER RISK OF DEPRESSION!!!!
This so modern life full of technology is creating addiction to technology; but it is worst: Teenagers are under a big risk of depression because of the social media influence!
The matter is: Teenagers are having more friends on the net than in regular life. They spend a lot of time trying to connect to their friends. They get upset when they cannot do that! Why? Because of the addiction to social media; it is getting stronger and stronger.
That is not teenager’s fault; but the way of life we are living. Teenagers, more than ever, are under a big influence from friends and the media. This can push them into wrong habits or bad influences! Moreover, into depression because of the dependence of their ‘friends’ opinion (Public opinion)
If you think it is easy to be a teenager then you are totally wrong! The 21st century has a lot of problems for people of all ages!
Teenager need to practice sport, meditation, relaxation, yoga and obviously camping to have fun and take their stress off!
Teens, more than ever, need nice parents, our understanding, comprehension and love. They need to be treated with respect and they need a guide to take them to the right path. Life is too complex and schools are not doing enough to help them. We need a system where learning and having fun is combined in a balance and harmony.
The solution is not taking policemen into the schools; but taking care o f them since childhood. We need to offer them a better life and better values. A real reason for life and not this routine world full of pressure everywhere you go.
There is too much money going into wars and other things that could go to education and to improve human values. We need a system able to give our teachers support and help. Our teachers are so important because they are giving their lives to educate our children and teenagers.
Teachers and students must be treated with respect and dignity. Teachers are instructing our teens and the latter are learning from teachers. So, the education of kids and teenager is a team work and parents need to get involved seriously on this matter; not to blame our teens, but to understand them and stand alone with them.
The more support teens have the better for them and for our society! They need our attention and they deserve that. They need the best form our society and from education.
Why depression is getting into teens?
Simple, they need someone to hear them. They are looking for help, for a real friend, for parents who show understanding and love. What if they do not find that? Then they get into problems of all sorts then after that they are blamed. The question is: What did our society do for them? Did our education system do enough? Did their parents do enough?
Who is responsible for teens’ depression? What is the solution to this problem? Well, responsible for that is the whole society, the system, the type of life we are offering and the lack of love and understanding! What is the solution? We need to check all things related to teenagers from TV programs to teachers and parents.
The bottom line is: We need to offer them a better quality of life: Real values, love, understanding, care, listening, etc.
The best thing an adult can do for a teen is: Be nice, put their shoes, do not take things for granted and remember one day you were a teen!
MEDITATION AND YOGA plus exercising, camping and having fun can help a lot. Meditation and Yoga had to be part of all schools nationwide. Teachers should encourage teens to participate in meditation and yoga to develop calmness, concentration, relaxation and health. Nevertheless, one is the most important factor to be given to our teens: LOVE!
ABORTION AND DEPRESSION!
Yes, abortion is a big reason for depression. Teens, we all know, get sexual active too soon and they forget the risks for doing it. They fall in love and lose their head. Abortion is so common that in some states they go to 50% or even 60% of abortion in teenagers. That should be a concern of modern parents. It seems that we see it to normal and we do not pay enough atention to this problem.
Why teens get into this problem? Well, there are some reasons: One is the lack of love they feel, other one is the lack of self-importance, one more is the pression of other friends and some other reasons.

Everything starts in home. Parents must show love, respect, comprehension and care! Bur guess waht? They are so busy in their lives, too many problems to solve, too tired to do something, and so on. Are you playing with your teen's future? You need to tell them about all the risks about having sex. They have two choises: do it or not! So. The message is up to you as a parent. Do not rely on education only. You must be part of your teen education. Family values are important and you teach with your example.
This is more than a matter of laws, this is a matter of a traumatic experience that must be avoided before it ocurs! why do we have to look for a solution after the rpoblem and not before? TALK TO YOUR TEENS, PLEASE.
IT IS TIME FOR PARENTS TO DO MORE FOR THEIR KIDS AND TEENS! THEY ARE OUR FUTURE!
KIDS AND SEX!
Why is so hard for parents to talk about this subject? Aren't they the most responsible on this matter? Yes, they are. They should take care of this matter before it appears… How? It involves many things: Teach the kids how to behave and be a good kid; show them your love and comprehension, build a strong relationship, give time more than money, teach your kids good values (Respect, tolerance, common sense, self-control, love, etc.)
Is it hard to do that? Well, ask yourself: DOES MY KID DESERVE THE BEST? Then you will find out the answer. It might not be easy, it might take patience and tolerance and time form you, but it pays for the rest of your life and for the best of his/her life. Take actions now and do not wait for the time to cry or the time to ask yourself: what did I do wrong?
Why do we have to let a teacher (an estranger) to explain them what love is and what sex is. Maybe they do not have the same ideas or principles that you have.
Why do we have to explain kids how to use condoms or preservatives? Well, because they are some kids doing it. Should your kid pay for other parent’s mistakes? Why do we need to put in their mind something that is not part of them yet? How do you expect a 10 year old boy to understand what sex is and what it is for? Does it make sense? ... Not to me and not too many parents.
Schools should be more concern about teaching kids how to grow into a good man and be success in life. The idea is not bad, the matter is: kids are not able to understand that yet!
Talking about sex to kids is good when the time comes and it depends on the circumstances; but it is not a good idea just to talk to them any regular day. The problem: CURIOSITY! They might want to give it a try. Why? The teacher told them. That is it. Plus, any teen might push them to try.
The whole society is losing values and we want our kids to pay for it! Isn’t time to say something and stop the way the whole world is doing things? Don’t we deserve a better way of life? What is the best solution for our modern society? Are we losing control of everything?
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Well, we need to take action about this matter. Kids need sex education, but it does not mean putting sex in their mind; but teaching them good values and show them real love. Why are they having sex? One reason among others: THEY FEEL ALONE! They change sex for “love”, actually they need company. They want to be appreciated. The truth is they get trapped into dependency and when the other kid or teen leaves them they feel worst than before!
They have expressions like “I will love you forever” or “I cannot live without you” or other similar ideas; but the fact is: They will be together for a short time and then the reality will show. One will get someone else!
Parents must understand the reality of this problem and they need to face it. No birth-control or condom will ever fix a hurt soul! It is ok to protect the body, but… what about the inner world of the teen?
The fact is: More teens are having sex and we have more teen abortions. We really need a sex education, but base in good values, respect and self-control.
Teens must understand the problem beyond the physical experience; because once the soul is hurt it is not hill easily. Teens really need the care of their parents because they need to feel secure. An insecure teen is an easy victim of sex.
Sex involves more than a physical contact; it involves a soul contact beyond the comprehension of teens and adults!
TV is playing a big roll on this matter. It is proven that it is influencing on teen sex. Internet is part of the game too. Kids and teens are being shot with many sex ideas every single day. So, it is not easy for them to say no. here is when parents love becomes so important.
Parent must get involved in their kids and teens life more and more. It does not mean to control them; but to understand them and show them their love and appreciation. Parents must not take for granted what love is. Love is action and it pushes to action. Passiveness is just irresponsibility!
