The Problem:
It’s hard to tell the difference between normal teenage behavior and signs of deeper mental health struggles.
What to Look Out For:
-
Isolation that lasts beyond a few days
-
Sudden drop in grades or motivation
-
Intense anger, sadness, or withdrawal
-
Changes in sleep or eating patterns
How To Respond:
Approach gently. Listen without interrupting. Offer help without judgment. And don’t hesitate to seek professional support—early intervention matters.
Truth Bomb:
You don’t have to have all the answers. Just being there, consistently and calmly, is powerful enough.
