What is the greatest need that teens have?
The top things us teens need is
- To be trusted
When we are trusted it allows us to be able to do stuff for ourselves and not have our parents there to hold our hands.
- To be heard
Our voices count and we have a lot to say when it comes to a problem we don't want to be silenced. Which is something we all go through because to adults we will always be small and not as wise as them. Which in a way might be true but most of us are not as dumb as they think of us. Just because we are teenagers does not mean our voices do not count.
- To be safe
We want to feel safe in our own skin. When we walk outside we don't want to be judged for who we are or for how we look. And sadly that's what society lives by, for example if someone sees one of their peers or neighbors with tattoos then are most likely to judge them for CTW when in reality they might not even know the story behind those tattoos. Plus it's the other person's life after all why judge them?”don't judge if you don't want to be judged “
- And to find a meaning in life
