Challenges As A Teen I Am Facing?

1. High Parental Expectations
2. Academic Problems (School)

Being a CTR student helps me overcome my challenges by always doing the right thing and trying my best to do what my mom expects me to do. Also helps me by always having faith and just reminding myself all the hard work I give now will someday pay off. Being a CTR person isn't always easy but its the best choice that you could/will ever make.

How I can help other teens overcome their challenges is by one day making something of myself even though I had many obstacles in the way but somehow managing to make it through the rain in it toughest times. I can one day share my stories and my way of thinking and the method I use to maybe help someone else.

 

Reflection: The biggest need that teens need is parental support and parents time and attention. What I would say what kids in society today especially need is both parents or someone taking the role. For a girl she needs a mom leading a great example that life isn't easy and challenges will come along but no matter what you have to overcome it. For a boy what I would say he needs the most is a father figure in his life showing him how to grow into a young men. Many kids today don't have both parents in their life and believe or not that does take a toll on kids as they get older and face certain situations. Another thing that kids will need the most is knowledge because life is like a test constantly testing your skills. Life is like a roller coaster it has good times but it also has bad times. Teens or kids in general just need a good role model.
