One of the most difficult things for teens to do is to ask for help. Most of the time the emotional struggles they face at that age prevent them from treating the adults in their life as resources.

If you ask teens what they would like to change in their life, they would probably tell you about many things they want to change but they do not know how to make it happen. After not knowing how to change for a while, they become frustrated and feel helpless. This is when the adults in their life have a responsibility to help them make that change.

For people to change, they need to find their strengths and use them to overcome challenges. Many times, it is the perception of the resources they have around them that will determine their strength in meeting these challenges. When teens feel they have many resources they can call upon when they need help to change, they become more confident. However, if they feel unresourceful, they tend to do many harmful things.

Teens are not born with the understanding that they have the power to change their life. Even if their parents plant this power in their mind at a young age, when they are hit by hormonal changes and other physical transformations, they feel as if they have lost control. Feeling like they have less control over these things, teenagers begin to feel they cannot change anything anymore, no matter how much they want to.

During adolescence, things get so hard that many teens give up. They have many internal and external resources, but they do not know how to use them. Their world quickly becomes a place of great confusion and stress. They face conflicting demands between their parents, teachers and friends. The messages they get through the media and from other sources, like internet forums and social sites, only confuse them more. If you ask teens, though they dedicate every bit of their energy to discovering their identity, they are not sure who they are.
