Almost every day, I get a call from a parent, a therapist, or a teacher desperately looking for some hope to help a struggling adolescent. The symptoms I hear about vary - poor academic performance, feelings of loneliness, victim of bullying by peers or adults, sadness, depression, persistent non-attendance at school, threats of personal harm Adolescence can be a tough time, and being in a setting that isn’t working for you, for whatever reason, can make this period of life even more challenging.
