Plus i had a friend who rebelled against everyone and i tried my best to stay by her side but it didn't work out at the end and we ended up not being friends anymore. In school events, Counselings, and clubs can make teens lives less challenging because this allows them to do stuff with their friends and allows them to talk to their counselor about things that may be bothering them. They can tell an adult like a parent or a teacher and ask them for help. ]]> 2019-11-01 12:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405373170 emma mower https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405539347 1. yes i can relate to the video because of financial issues, harassments, assaults and all of that. i never felt safe at school after some things came up. 
2. a way to make teens lives much less stressful is if teachers are to notice if there's something wrong with a student. i think if ALL teachers are trained in behavior differences then they could reach out to teens who need help but don't want to admit it because their, too independent, scared or embarrassed. 
3. if a teen wants help or to be in a better situation then they should ask for help from a friend, parent, grandparent or even a teacher.]]> 2019-11-01 17:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405539347 I can relate to the video regarding anger and rebellion but i've always been like that, i've always had anger issues and i've always been rebellious, just now more so than then. Ways to make teens lives less challenging would be listening to them when they say they're dealing with something, even if u dont want to believe it or you say it's not that bad, just listen, all it takes is for someone to listen and try to help them. They can go to a guardian or someone they trust to get help and they can get in a better situation, say you're dealing with financial issues, do everything in your power to set you up. For example, your dream is to be an artist? It's really hard to actually make it so make sure you have good grades and set yourself up for college as a sort of back up. There are so many things you can to do better your situation, all you have to do is try. https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405620500 2019-11-01 19:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405620500 Kyra Pfeil https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405671054 1. Yes I can relate to the video just because I have had it rough at home at some points in my life, when I was younger. 2. To make teens lives less challenging people could make them less demanding. Teenagers are expected to act like adults but treated like kids. It's ridiculous to expect a teenager to get good grades to get scholarships while having an after school job, where the demand is higher than the pay, so they can save up for college all while figuring out what they want to do for the rest of their life. 3. They can try to join churches for food drives and most schools help students out with supplies they need if you just talk to the office and thrift stores usually have really cheap winter coats and other cheap clothes. Though the pay isn't that good and scheduling sucks, most jobs hire at 15-16 with a work permit you can get at the office at school.]]> 2019-11-02 00:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/405671054 Taylor Smith https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/406009085 1. I can relate to this video because I am currently and have been through many very rough patches throughout my life weather it be financial, family issues, and crisis, i've been through it. Its definitely not easy but Even when it feels like i'm drowning, I always try and think of what possibilities tomorrow can bring. I also find that if I don't pay attention to my personal issues and reach out to help others, it makes me feel better.
 
2. Provide care let them you are there for them. Also, you can listen to them and their reasoning before being quick to judge them. Also, never say a teen is to young for stress because that is not true. Teens are going through many emotional and physical changes that can cause them stress on their self image and self esteem. Teens are also dealing with school work which can also cause stress. So even though the type of stress a teen may be facing, it still can have a impact on them. So reaching out to them and helping when you can may help them get through it instead of jumping to a conclusion and making things worse for the teen. Finally, a teen may be fighting their own mental battle that nobody knows about. This is why it's important to always talk to a teenager that you suspect is going through something. Just the few words of "are you ok" or " Is there anything I can do to help" can mean the world to that person because you seriously never know what someone can be dealing with. So with that being said, being there for a teen, reaching out to a teen, and listening before judging them can definitely change a teens life and possibly help them in many positive ways.

3.  If possible, they can go to a therapist, they can decide to make some changes in their lives and set goals to commit to those changes, and get involved in something they enjoy and surround themselves with positive people that have the same interest. But yes, for the most part, its definitely possible to better or help their current situation.]]> 2019-11-04 00:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/406009085 Emily Titus https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/407862568 1. Yes, I feel like I can relate to this video because I’ve had it real bad lately where my family couldn’t afford a lot of things and it’s been a real struggles. 2. I feel like when your family is having financial issues is there’s nothing you can really do but try and get a job to help. For mental problems though I feel like teenagers shouldn’t pile too much on themselves because sometimes you’re just not ready. 3. If someone wants to better their situation they can more than likely find someone to talk to that can help them out with their problems and point them in the right direction.]]> 2019-11-07 02:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/407862568 Mackenzie Reyes https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/411282972 Yes, I can also relate to the video. I can relate because I've been through alot in the past.  The only thing you can really do for someone that is just to provide help with they are willing to take it. They can get help by talking to a close friend, family member, a teacher they feel close to even an a counselor... just find someone and talk to them.  ]]> 2019-11-14 16:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/iy3g8ux3cdb3/wish/411282972
