I have a 17 year old boy, currently in counselling, who doesn't feel comfortable telling me about what's going on with him, he has told his counsellor and i do know it's anxiety based. I know he's sad and teary and its so difficult to watch.
My 14 year old boy suffered with depression last year, due to school pressures and saw a counsellor. I'm struggling from keeping him from going nocturnal through summer hols and also struggling trying to get him to eat some proper food instead of haribos and coke (constant colds and sore throats!). He games all day and seems only interested in his girlfriend.
Reading the Internet, this all seems perfectly normal but it's so hard!
I thought I'd done so well with babies, teething, toilet training, weaning, the two's - this teen stage though, I find it an all consuming worry.
