Secrets Teens Want to tell Parents Before Suicide
Secrets not meant to be kept nevertheless, its a trend amount many youth. The teens years are a confusing time for both children and their parents. Life is difficult.  Feelings can be both contradictory and vague at the best of times. Hitting puberty is a profound experience. The stage can turn your meek teenager into a wild one. As parents five years or so of this roller coaster can turn your hair grey. It may even give you constant night terrors. Leaving you feeling generally displeased with life.  But, there is one thing that all adults seem to forget.  The sheer largeness of life that can be both exhilarating and overwhelming at the same time. We forget how wonderful life seemed when we were teenagers. That the joys of  life seemed to be all in our grasp just beyond that of our parents.Â

There is a constant game of tug rope. Your teen is demanding more responsibility. You may feel he or she is not ready. More often than not, this game can get nasty.Your adolescent may begin to feel a little isolated even a little estranged.

- Â Say that you love me. Tell me more often
We forget how important it is to hear those words. The words I love you can heal a broken soul. Guide a lost heart, add light that may help someone in despair. Remember that no matter how rough things get. Your child still needs to hear those words. Just as much as you need to hear them.
- Be the moral compass I need you to be
Sure adolescence is all about rebellion. Living, and making decisions that may or may not be the best at the time. Still you child needs a role model that he or she can look up to. One that is stable and unwavering in his or her virtues. That’s difficult to do with a walking erupting volcano. But without a doubt, if your teen could look past his own emotional turmoil. He would ask you to please SHOW him the way, by being the way every day.

3. Â Â Respect Me, please
You may not have problems with your teen. Still at this point in time your teen is building an identity. This persona may be far removed from the one he or she adopted for the past eleven to thirteen years. Now is the time of renewal and new understanding.  Your teen needs to see how to respect the choices of another human being. Even if those choices are different to his or her own. It’s not at all about allowing your young teen the freedom of the city. Rather it’s about discovering this new developing personality and respecting it.  Teaching respect you may be  surprised at the wonderful human being your child actually is.
I wish you didn’t leave / I wish you were around more
This is  one of the deepest secrets your teen has. Time is so valuable and we often use it to evaluate another’s love for us.  Based on the time they spend and invest in us we develop a sense of how much they care.  Time is an investment. Investments are usually made carefully.  If it’s not worth the while the contribution will be rejected. Perhaps that’s why we value time. As being one of the greatest gifts of love. Take some time out today and just love your teen. Even if your love looks like it’s unwanted, believe me it’s not.
I absolutely agree, and time time time, so many parents do not realise how much time their teens need growing up. At times when your parents do not have the time for you, or rather do not take the time, teens turn to friends for advice, and end up making wrong decisions as the advice they receive form friends lack experience and maturity. It is so important for parents to invest the time to get their teens on the right path.
These are very important points. We must always make our kids feel that they are loved and if we want them to respect us, we must respect them as well.
That line of communication is hella important with your teenage children. The sooner, the better. Go out of your way to keep it open. Your teenagers’ lives depend on it. Literally. More kids need their parents to ……….be parents.
Parents are too afraid to let their kids go, it’s very common. In return, kids rebel or feel stuck and that where it all starts. I really hope there is more communication and openness between parents and their teens.
Very powerful post. I agreed with you. I want to keep our relationship so closely with my son just like her friends, and respect in each other.
I’m confused with the dying part. It’s vague but on the other point, I would agree. These are things that teens want to tell parents.
Love, respect , and acceptance are what parents should constantly give their children especially if they are turning to teenagers. Most teens are confused to what they really want and they often feel their parents do not undertand them.
I think communication is the best to keep your relationship in your teens. I know what it feels as a teen before.
So true. My mom passed away when I was 16. It was so hard being alone and no parents, when she was around we had amazing communication and we were best friends. Hoping it can be that way with my kids once teens too.
Raising teens can be a challenge….or it can be super easy! I have 2 that are teens and one is one way and the other is total opposite. Crazy how siblings can be so different!
I agree. Growing up and coming of age can be a scary thing. Remembering what that’s like and respecting and supporting the process for our kids is so important. I’ve got a few years before I have to dive in to this. Thankfully!
Your teens wants their Parent to show that they care not by giving gifts. Don’t wait until its too late.
Teaching respect goes a long way for so many things. I think that’s a very important one for teens.
Time is very important. As a teen and until now, this is something that I wish my parents had more of when I was younger. Now my dad is sick and is far so it’s difficult to make things feel okay as if nothing happened.
I agree with everything that you said here. If I will be a parent in the future, I will listen to my kids and will make sure that I accept them & find time to be with them no matter what it takes.
You are right about being told I love you more. When I was a teen that is what I loved most about my father. He’s gone now but his love for me has taught me how to love and I think this is one of the reasons I love being a parent. Now I tell my own kids how much I love them. Even when they are a teen, I will keep telling them and often!
awesome read. i never felt respected growing up. heck i never felt like anything i really did mattered. i love this article.
unsure what the title of this post means, but I think a parent should always tell their kids they love them no matter what age they are
aww i love this! its all stuff we’d like to say as children to our parents! ive always thought i could be a little bit braver when it came to addressing my feels.
