Sometimes it feels like no one understands; you know your parents love you but they don't seem to understand who you are or have any idea as to what you need. Talking to them always seems to end in a fight. There are times when life seems so dark that it's hard to hope. It might even be hard to get out of bed some days. And as much as you depend on your friends, they have their own struggles.

Meeting with me, we would talk about what is making life so hard. We would discuss what you want and how you can get there. As a teenager, it is your choice how much your parents are involved in the process. Sometimes, family therapy is recommended for the fastest amount of change possible. But, it is all up to you and what you want to do.
