BEING A TEENAGER CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT, CAN'T IT?

Hi guys! Welcome back to our blog.  How are you? I hope you are all coping, I know these are difficult days for everyone. But, let's see what's positive:  now we have a lot of time to spend on self-improvement, doing our homework, chatting with friends, reflecting on what is important or…writing a new post for our blog!

Today I’m going to talk about teenage issues related to our generation. I’m thinking of alcohol, drugs, violence, bullying, anorexia, self-harm and so on.

Even though many young people try not to talk about these topics,  though they experience them directly or indirectly,  they find it difficult to open up and hide the truth to themselves and to the others.

INVISIBLE

Everyone happens to feel alone or powerless sometimes. In the last years, there’s been an increase of teenagers suffering from this state of mind and having consequentially repercussions on their lives.  There are several reasons why a teenager can feel “invisible”, one of them  is that we live in a society full of prejudices  and very competitive, where everyone is judged. 

Something we believe has been experienced by everyone at least once in their life, is the feeling of being invisible. If we could see all of our memories in front of us like on a movie, we're sure we’d all find that particular moment in which we felt like we were alone in the world, and it's not so fun at all. We could define this type of invisibility as 'harmless', because, sooner or later, we find a way out of it. However, there are some people who are not able to come out of it so easily, people who feel like this all their lives.

On the contrary to what is generally assumed, feeling invisible is a common experience, especially among teenagers, so among us. Actually, we feel that people do not think about this problem at all, and that's why we do not even realize it also affects the closest people we have.

13 REASONS WHY IS BACK

You've perfectly understood that I love watching tv series. Today I'm gonna talk about one of the most significant tv series I've ever seen. I'm talking about 13 Reasons Why. It's an American teen drama tv series directed by Brian Yorkey who provoked great discussion last year when it came out on Netflix. It may be tough to watch and it is suggested for an audience of +14.

If you have not seen it,  you can’t miss it, I'm sure you’ll find it thought-provoking and captivating.  So, as soon as you have some free time,  watch it!

Before reading on, I’d suggest you to take a look at one of our old posts about this series (CLICK HERE) if you want to know more about its characters.
