Those teen years..and now..

Adolescence, the teen years..an age of turmoil and stress..or a beautiful time of ur life..which impacts ur whole life..the friends..those chats on phone..that first crush [numerous for some:-) ]..relationship with parents..that consciousness about how I look..those endless fights with siblings and then patching up and sharing everything with them..those times which i still remember and laugh at..my worry for examinations, the results and how well will my best pal do, who was supposedly my biggest competitor:) my affection for my teachers, laughing non-stop with my pals during the class..it was beautiful..and still is..I am much the same..but better at handling my emotions now..I am lucky that I was able to manage that turmoil that arose during that time. But some are not. Failure in love, examinations, relationships, inability to accept oneself as one is etc are many things which may lead to a deviant behaviour, which might even ruin lives. Many tend to fall into bad company and become prone to substance abuse or some other things which are not good for us, some even become suicidal. So it becomes the responsibility of all us, not just few teachers, NGOs, Government to take care of people in their formative years and lend our support forever. How much everyone needs this strength is something we all might have realized over the years looking at similar cases as quoted in news or otherwise. So here comes the question..Do we really need Adolescence Education? You answer urself..Because I don't need an answer for myself. I know we do. We can't just keep ignoring the real situation and live in idealism. Reflect and tell urself and then support the cause, which is a commitment of many..
