Parenting your troubled teen!
Many time in life we feel low, good for nothing and not having goal in life. But on the other hand we see such people who are successful, blessed there’s nothing but only difference is our fears, we are not ready to take risks and think about society before doing anything.
When I was 14 years old their was kind of phobia in my mind. I started ignoring family functions of my relatives, social gatherings, going to market to avoid people and my parents start getting irritated because of my behaviour. They think I am doing this because of study pressure and they also start giving me lectures that how important role of society in anybody’s life I tried to overcome from this situation several times but day by day my condition was worst I was prisoner of my own life even going to school was one the most difficult situation for me. I was trapped in my own room in my own little world. Wen my relatives or family friends visit my home I used to behave like alien, never greet them never say goodbye.
After sometime everybody start creating their own opinions that I am arrogant, don’t have manners bla…bla..never ending list. They used to complaint my parents about my behaviour and mom teach me concept of moral values agin and again and one day my father yelled at me that why I am doing this? ….then I start crying like mad and while I was crying I said my parents that I am also fed up and this is most difficult phase of my life. My these words strike in my mothers head and she apologize for not understanding me and after that day she started me giving her company and motivating me by reading inspirational books to me, she was deeply concerned with my life that days and she alway want to know whats in my mind, I started attending social gatherings with her slowly I recovered from this worst phase of my life because of my mother.
Maximum times when child is silent and not participating in his or her social circle this is not because of study pressure. But try to talk with your children may be something is wrong with them, or something strange is happening social phobia is one of them.
