21.01.2022 Being a teenager is the most challenging time of a person’s life, It begins around 13 and lasts until 19 years of age. During this stage of life teenagers are exposed to several different challenges and are expected to cope with hormonal changes, work, school, peer and parental pressure. Often this can leave a teenager feeling misunderstood and lost. Some teenagers struggle more than others during this time of life and can develop signs of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image struggles, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviours.
