Hidden Causes of Teen Problems (02-08-2010)
Mom and dad had no idea their young son was being sexually abused by a friend of the family. On the surface, their child had become angry, irritable, and depressed. They thought he was just being rebellious.
When a teen starts traveling down the wrong road, there may be shocking underlying causes, like abuse, drug use, hormonal imbalances or even bullying in school. So a parent too quick to label their misbehavior “rebellious” might miss the true heart of what’s going on and push the teen even further into despair.
If the behavior you see is unusual for your teenager, look for hidden causes. And spend more time connecting with your teen, seeking professional counsel if help is needed to reveal the problem’s source.
