Teenage is the period when one is looking at life from one standpoint only. It is rather starting to look at things learning things through trial and error while parents are impatient with them. This is the period of growing up thereby learning to adjust with new circumstances, making friends, learning to dispense duties in an expected manner etc comes with a cost and whatever experience they have makes an impact on their view and attitude towards life. So teenage is the most critical time in terms of experience.
Teenage is the time when we try to move out from the protective arms of our parents to the world outside. It is natural that teenagers need to spend time with other teenagers as they go through the same experience. From childhood to teenage life becomes a bit more complex as one starts competing with others. In course of competing for things some would also experience deprivation.
Deprivation and marginalization of the teenagers have had always led to gory outcome. Repeated deprivation may turn a teenager to deviate from the right path – that is they may either withdraw or rebel. But however and whichever way teenagers reach the reason is family and society at large.
So it is social responsibility of all adult citizens to help the teenagers to tread upon the right path. But individual, family and community interest play foul when it comes to dealing with the teenagers or any issue as such. Teenage is nevertheless known for anger – anger against a vastly static society, too lethargic for a rapid change which teenagers crave for. So how to control this anger and help teenagers concentrate upon creativity.
Firstly we don’t get anything by losing our temper. In anger we may do things for which no regret would redeem our mistakes. So before you fly in anger stop and think:
- Cool down. Leave the place. Breathe slowly and deeply and divert your attention.
- When you have cooled down think over
- Ask yourself why you are angry
- Find solutions if you thing you are wronged
- Find someone whom you think can help you out
- Share your problems with people who you think can understand you
- Practice Meditation regularly
Finally tell yourself that it is ok to get angry but it would be the best to remain cool in any circumstance because you don’t want your mind to be fogged by anger.
