What Children and Teens Are Facing Today
Many young people carry worries they don't always talk about. Parents often notice changes but are unsure how to help or where to start.
Students may experience
- Anxiety about school, exams, or social situations
- Low confidence or self-esteem
- Bullying, friendship issues, or feeling left out
- Anger, frustration, or emotional outbursts
- Trouble focusing, overthinking, or "shutting down"
- Screen addiction or gaming/social media dependence
- Sleep problems and constant tiredness
- Feeling sad, flat, or "not themselves"
Parents often notice
- Change in behaviour or mood
- Avoiding school or activities they once enjoyed
- Spending a lot of time alone or on screens
- Drop in grades or motivation
- More arguments at home
- Saying "I can't do it" or "No one understands me"
- Staying alone in room for long periods and avoiding social contact
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities that used to bring joy
