Teenager Nightmares

Teenagers

A

I had a problem with a bully at school and I wasn't doing well in class. I would come home upset and not want to go out with the other kids or do anything with my family. Sometimes I even pretended to be ill so that I could skip school – that's how much I hated going. My parents were worried about me, but I couldn't tell them the truth because I was ashamed. My teacher suggested meeting with a life coach, Miranda, and I did. Miranda helped me to think about my life and to decide what I wanted out of it. It was a great help. I realized, for example, that I was trying to make friends with all the wrong people – even the girl who was bullying me at school! Miranda helped me to see that I really wanted friends who were kind and honest, so now I spend my time with friends like that. I am much happier, and it's all thanks to Miranda.

B

I was going through a difficult time, and I was miserable everywhere and with everyone. I started to dress differently as a way to show how angry I was. I dyed my hair red and black, and wore earrings and a nose ring to school. I even made the trousers of my school uniform tighter. That's what did it for the headteacher. She had warned me about my hair and earrings, but when she saw what I had done to my uniform, she kicked me out of school. The life coach my parents got me to see really helped me. Patricia helped me understand that the main reason for my behaviour was that I wasn't happy about myself. I now realize how I can be who I am without pushing people away, which is what I was doing. I'm much happier and more confident about being myself now, and I really love my new school too.

Parents

C

We stood by Peter, but we didn't know how to help him. Perhaps we should have done more from the beginning, but we just thought, 'It's a phase, it will pass.' We only realized how serious the situation had become when he was asked to leave the school because of his appearance! The life coach we took him to see helped him a lot. She made him see that he can be who he is and express himself without going to extremes. He now has more friends and is much happier than he was a year ago.

D

We didn't know what Christine was going through because she would never talk to us. We were so pleased when the headteacher at school recommended she see a life coach. It helped Christine see what she wanted in life, and how to deal with her fears and insecurities. She really opened up. We now spend more time doing things together as a family, and Christine now has some close friends that she enjoys spending time with.
