Akshara tells us how to be understanding towards t

Adolescence is a very tender age. It is important that teenagers are well taken care of, should they face any teenage related problems. We asked Akshara to suggest some good ideas to guide teenagers through this age. Read on to find out what she had to say.

Akshara was pleased to answer our queries. She says, "Having a teenager at home has given me better insight into the problems teenager face. Having been one myself not too long ago I am aware of how difficult it can be. It is important to have an adult who is understanding in your life to whom they can share their problems with."

She continues knowingly," It is important that the adults don't reprimand them if they open up about their feelings etc. It is normal at this age. We must explain to them that they should have their priorities in check, so that their studies are not affected. Putting too many restrictions on them may only make them more rebellious, so it is always wiser to be patient and make them understand gently."

"I had lot of support and co-operation from my parents when I was a teenager and still do. I am very grateful to my family. It is because of their love and support that I did not become a victim of peer pressure or do anything that would bring shame to my family" she ends with a smile on her face.
