Help a Stressed Out Teen

Teen age is the most sensitive age in a person's life. A teenager easily gets satisfied, gets wore out at the tick of a second and can revolt at very minute matters. The delicate teen age needs utmost care by elders or the right kind of friends. A stressed out teenager is not stressed out all of a sudden, it takes a long time for him/her to feel stressed. A little bit of guidance can drastically improve the situation.

Steps

 * 1) Be gentle to the person and ask him/her the problem. You have to act as if you have ears to listen to their problems only. Eventually the person will open up.[[Image:Help a Stressed Out Teen Step 1 Version 2.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Once the problem is said to you, ask the person if there was any fault of him/her behind the cause of the problem (But remember, never, NEVER sound as if the sole fault was that person's, or else you'll depress the person even more).[[Image:Help a Stressed Out Teen Step 2 Version 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) * If the problem concerns friends (betrayal from friends, rudeness from friends, etc) then advise the teen to simply ignore those idiots and make him understand that if the person is good then true friends shall definitely arrive in his/her life.
 * 4) * If the problem concerns rude behavior from teachers, teachers' physical abuse, etc, then ask him/her to go to the teacher, talk in private and softly ask the teacher the reason for his hatred towards him/her.In that situation that teacher shall definitely sympathize the teen and instead of being like a mean demon, shall be like a cute angel.
 * 5) * The matter is a bit more complicated if a teen suffers stress from a break up with his/her partner. In that case it needs more care and a sensitive attitude. Ask the person the reason behind the break up. If THAT person broke up then you might ask him to go and apologise to his/her partner and ask for another chance (it happens many a time that a person dumps another person and afterwards regrets intensely). But if the other person is the one who broke up then tell the teen that someone much better is waiting for him/her and that is why the relation ended, which happened only for the betterment.
 * 6) * The most important reason for a teen to feel stressed is the pressure of studies. In that case give him/her good educational advice.
 * 7) Tell the person that a small problem cannot ever mean the end of the world and good time shall arrive very soon.[[Image:Help a Stressed Out Teen Step 3 Version 2.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * If you can get friends with the person quite well then take him/her out sometimes and share your own life to make the person feel comfortable with you.
 * Buy him\her small gifts that will touch his heart and let him/her know that you care for the person.

Warnings

 * It can happen at times that you are not in a good mood. In such a situation never usher your rage upon the poor teen.
 * Never lose patience if the teen is a bit shy and takes time to open up.
 * Never ever tell the person that the sole cause of the whole problem is himself\herself. This will not only wear them out all the more but shall also put such mental pressure that he\she shall not be able to count upon anyone in life.
 * Don't give the teen wrong ideas such as he\she should go to bed with someone in order to take control. This will not only make the person cheap but shall also subject the person to utter humiliation in future. If you can't give good advices then just DON'T give.
