Parents are afraid of talking to teenagers

There are many reasons for parents’ fear while talking to teenagers, some of the main reasons are:

Everyday news of stress and suicide among teenagers is shown in newspaper, TV or social media. Due to these news, there is fear and worry in the minds of the parents that their child may take some wrong step due to something they said.

For teenage children, it is not just a time of age but also a time of change in both their body and mind. Due to not being able to understand this change, many times the child feels isolated from others. He feels that his feelings are not understood.
