I am sure all of us know how teen can be difficult to handle.When I was teen I had a friend who had anorexia nervosa and I was really worried about her.I was trying to support her and make everything for her, when she was in hospital.So what about you?Did you had any teenager to worry about or have in presence?How you are trying to support them?

I have two teen boys. The older one is kind of easy to raise. He tried hard at school and helps at home. He is now 15, moans a lot but no real sulks. The younger son has just turned 13 and is struggling so much at school. He has mid term tests coming up soon and I am trying to get him to study. We live in Japan and Japanese junior high schools are hard and because I can't read the material makes it even harder! Teens can be great fun but it is also a hard time with the body changing and hormones doing wild things to emotions. I try and keep myself open to the kids, they need to know that no matter what they are loved and accepted for who they are.

My friend isn't a teen but I still worry about him because he hasn't finished school yet and he doesn't realize how important it is.
