From Avoiding Friends, Neglecting Hobbies, Dropping Grades · Bianca Alvarado

Avoiding friends. Neglecting hobbies. Dropping grades. Does any of this sound like your teenager right now?

And you don't know how long it's been that way.

They used to talk to you. Now you get silence.
Grades dropped. They won't say why.
Hobbies and friendships they loved are gone.
You try to connect. They walk away.
You don't recognize who they're becoming.
You can't tell if this is serious or just a phase.
"

The teenagers who were struggling most were not struggling because they lacked potential. They were struggling because the connection, the structure, and the trusted adult in their life had quietly disappeared.
