    SCRIPT:

    Teens often resort to dangerous or self-destructive behavior in an attempt to deal with their emotional pain.

    Teens naturally experiment, but ongoing risky behaviors like abusing  alcohol, sexual promiscuity, drugs, cutting, and eating disorders often represent a teen’s  attempt to control or cover up painful emotions.

    Some teens are ill-equipped to manage emotional pain and may need help dealing with it in the correct way. If risky behavior is seen, a good counselor can help expose their emotional hurts and deal with them in a more constructive and safe way.   

    Wise parents will look for signs of risky or self-destructive behavior in their teen and get help the minute they see it.
