One of the most prevalent desires in a person's life is to find what he or she is meant to fulfill in his or her lifetime. Especially for adolescents, finding where one stands in a world full of chaos is a daunting struggle and a strenuous journey. In The Cather in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, Holden is a troubled boy who is struggling to find himself and his place in the world. His journey to achieving this goal makes The Cather in the Rye an overall optimistic book because teenagers can relate to Holden's perplexed psychological state of being stuck in a place between childhood and adulthood, it inspires the reader to strive for more in his or her lifetime, and it ends on a happy note. When surrounded by an environment that is constantly changing and growing for better or for worse, it isn't difficult for adolescents to get lost and caught up in the confusing transition between the two worlds of adulthood and childhood.…

This can leave her parents feeling hurt and rejected, creating stress because there is a constant battle of wills” (Mayne, 2015). The teenager is always in their own different world trying to deal with their struggles that are causing them to want to fight. It is heartbreaking for parents to witness this because they just want to help their own child and be there for…
In teen counseling in Plano, TX, I have worked with many parents and children who simply could not understand each other. If men and women have a hard time relating to each other because one sex is from Mars while another is from Venus, it can often feel for a frustrated parent that teenagers are from another galaxy altogether. The teenage years are years of rebellion or, more accurately, a time of detaching from their parents. If you find yourself arguing with your teen because your relationship has changed or you’re suspicious of his new friends and the time he spends with them, know that you’re not alone.…

What is suicide? Suicide is a death arising from an act inflicted upon oneself with the intent to kill oneself (Andriessen, 2006). History shows that suicide was unacceptable and if you committed the horrible act you were not allowed to be buried in the church cemetery, because you were deemed to have been evil and the corps would be severely beaten to allow the evil spirits to be released from the body. Another punishment for committing suicide was that your family lost all of their property and was forced to leave the community.…
