A Glimpse Came From A Seed

I stand here in the field alone;I'm a
dandelion with no home.The people
never water me.They say, "That's no

into the flower, just a weed."But underneath

the "just a weed,"I am still a life that
came from a seed.I am not that
different from a rose or a daisy,But

Teenage
still people will call me lazy.America's
not where I'm supposed to be,But
people brought me here; I am not
free.You say I'm stupid, you say I'm
dumb,You poison me, so I feel
numb.I'm like a slave, no one
cares.I'm still a flower that's
everywhere.If I were a rose, you'd
hold me tight,Bring me home, show
me the light.A rose has thorns, I
don't understand.A rose is hurtful
when held in a hand.I have no
thorns; I'm as soft as can be,But you
still hurt, poison, and step on me.You
brought me here years ago,On big
ships filled with cargo.If you hated
me so much, then whyDid you take
me away so I could die?

Introduction

What is a teenager?

The teenager is a uniquely human phenomenon. Adolescents are

known to be moody, insecure, argumentative, angst-ridden,
impulsive, impressionable, reckless and rebellious. Teenagers are
also characterized by odd sleeping patterns, awkward growth
spurts, bullying, acne and slobbish behavior

The teenager is one

of the more unusual
inventions of the 20th
century. Humans have
been turning 13 for
tens of thousands of
years, but only
recently did it occur to
anybody that this was a special thing, or that the bridge between childhood and
adulthood deserved its own name.

In the last few decades, however, the national

the tastes of young people, with old fogies forever

MAJOR ISSUES FACING

TEENAGERS:
 4
Proposal

Teenagers face real concerns, between 13 and 19 years of age, on a

daily basis as this is the most awkward growth stage of their lives.
During this time, teens are exposed to some overwhelming external
and internal struggles. They go through, and are expected to cope with
hormonal changes, puberty, social and parental forces, work and
school pressures, and so on. Many teens feel misunderstood. It is vital
that their feelings and thoughts are validated and that the validation
comes from their parents. Parents need to approach their children,
who have been dealing with teenage growth issues, carefully and in a
friendly manner to discuss the concern.

The common teenage problems that teenagers face today are

usually related to:

Self-Esteem and Body Image

Stress and Depression

Bullying

Cyber Addiction

Drinking and Smoking

Defiant Behaviors

Peer-Pressure and Competition

Early Identification
 5
Proposal

Changes in sleep patterns, eating habits, declined interest in normal

and healthy activities, dropping grades in school and college, and
preferred isolation are all early signs of depression. Increased
demands to perform, competing with friends may also lead to
unwanted stress. Being vigilant towards these signs at an early stage
may help to block/stop further damage and guide them towards healthy
ways of dealing with their concerns.
 6
Proposal

To understand the transition, few examples of emotions or feelings

they have are presented:

Anger Confusion Jealousy

Non-compliant Dislike towards their secrecy

attitudes parents or elders
Defiant behaviors result from their inability to appropriately deal with
the intensity of these emotions and aggravate common teenage
problems.

 The major issue that we are facing at this time include teen suicide.
