Teen Relationship Advice And Resolving Difficult Issues
By Jane Healy
Teen relationship advice is offered online, in teen
magazines and dedicated youth clubs. But the best advice,
if a teenager is having relationship problems, is to
refer the teen to professional counseling.
Especially when matters are getting worse and may lead
to an emotional and depressive state. To prevent this
state occurring, a professionally trained relationships
counselor or a school counselor may give the best teen
relationship advice.
Your main aim is to avoid deterioration of the current
situation. If the current situation is getting worse,
then refer the teen to professional counseling.
Quickly Resolved
Some matters can be quickly resolved, especially if
matters are fairly simple. But if there are serious
issues like teen suicide, depression and teenage pregnancy,
then a referral to the school counselor would be the
best course of action.
A number of schools these days, have their own school
counselor, but some students can be referred to a professional
counseling service that could help resolve most issues.
Often Asked For Teen Relationship Advice
As a teacher, you will probably be surprised at how
often I get asked for teen relationship advice. You
see, teens have no one good to ask for relationship
problems advice. They could talk to their parents, of
course, but none of them want to do that.
Parents are in a position of authority, and anyway,
the teens cannot go to them as an impartial listener.
I am a younger teacher – only 26 – so teens see
me as practically a peer even though I am 10 years older.
Best Teen Relationship Advice
I try to lend my ear and give the best teen relationship
advice that I can, but it can be pretty tricky. After
all, as an authority figure and a teacher, I am in a
very difficult position.
Online Relationship Quiz
An online quiz about whether you should break up with
your boyfriend doesn’t have to report potential abuse,
for example. It doesn’t have to report drug use either.
neither do the advice columns. Teachers, however, have
to report practically everything.
I can give teen relationship advice, but there are
many details that I would rather not know. After all,
I hate to have to report them.
Most Teen Relationship Issues
Fortunately, most of the teen relationship issues that
people talk about, I don’t have to report. I can give
teen relationship advice even when the relationship
is getting pretty serious. After all, I am not directly
responsible to the parents.
I am merely responsible to the state and the school
board as well as the teens. When I give teenage relationship
advice, I can talk fairly freely. I don’t have to always
be a teacher.
Nonetheless, kids go to me for teen relationships advice
because they want to hear from an adult voice. I am
not simply an older and wiser one of their peers.
Spend A Lot Of Time Listening
My advice for anyone who is in a position where they
have to give advice for teens relationships is to spend
a lot of time listening. Often, the teens already know
what is the right choice.
It is simply that everything is so new to them, and
it can be helpful for them to be able to air their concerns.
Serious Matters
But I have found the best relationship advice should
be gained from the school counselor. Especially when
situations get tense or emotional and serious matters
like teen suicide and teenage pregnancy are raised.
As I do not know much about these serious teen issues,
I always now refer the students to the school counselor
who is trained in these matters and should give the
right advice and help avoid any serious situations from
evolving or getting worse.
So if the teen is asking me about serious matters,
I always refer my students to the school counselor for
the best teen relationship advice.
