You Don't Have To Fight With Your Teenager.

By Joseph Willey

In the youth home, where I work, I have seen many teenagers enrolled in the program without a clue, and leave as a much better person in the world. What a treat it is to see a teenager learn to be accountable and responsible. They grow every day to enter back into society as adults.

Teenagers come to this facility hating their parents and, through a process of therapy and group involvement, leave with love and respect for them. I get the unique experience of watching someone just finally get it. A series of seminars and group therapy teach these young minds that there is more to life than crime, drugs, and sex. I just hope to be an inspiration to these youth.

There are many schools and homes for these youth in Southern Utah. Each one specifically targetting different needs that individuals may have. Whether it is drugs, sex, or even low self esteem, there are therapists available to work with the youth as needed. Each therapy session teaching teens to be accountable and have respect for themselves instead of caving to peer pressure.

All of these schools are therapy oriented. Some teach the youth in a classroom type setting and others are more geared toward wilderness, like a boot camp setting. Parents learn to see eye to eye with their teenager through open and honest relationships. It hurts to se when families can not get along over one sides inability to budge, and the therapy that the child and the parent receive helps to resolve differences that each may have. Forget money, forget your job, if you don't have family, you don't have anything.

If you are having trouble with your teen, I would strongly suggest you seek help before it deteriorates to the point of being alone. This is far too sad of an option, especially in these trying times where you need your family now more than ever before. Your jobs and friends could turn on you at any time, but your family should be the one constant that you can always count on.

I want to keep this blog up to raise the awareness of the help that you can find for someone that may have troubles with their teenager. If I save only one family with my information, I will be pleased and feel that I have accomplished a mountain of a milestone.
