“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are” – Cummings
Teenage Counselling
According to Anibha Palit “Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on earth. They are treated as children and expected to behave as adults.”
It is no surprise that teenagers in South Africa face many challenges. It is also no surprise that teenagers go through numerous changes within their adolescent years these include interpersonal changes, physical changes, social changes, emotional changes, sexual changes as well as what to do with regards to their future. It’s a very confusing and frustrating part of life.
