There are many possibilities and opportunities to determine what you want to do with your life and who you want to be. This time of life can also be difficult. You are faced with a myriad of stresses and pressures. Among others, you have school stress, friend stress, dating stress, family stress, and work stress. It can be overwhelming and can impact your mental health and your ability to cope. Some people experience power struggles or other tension with parents or siblings. Learning to experience, understand, and manage emotions in healthy ways can be a challenge. You may be thinking about or struggling with boundaries, expectations, demands, and decisions. There is a lot to figure out and it can be a difficult process to cultivate opportunities, support, responsibility, and skills to try new things and determine a fulfilling and healthy path for yourself.
