My first post

This is my first post as a blogger; hope my fellow readers like it.

Yes. A frustrated teenager.

I don't know where to start because I am unorganized. I don't know where to go because I am lost. I don't know what to say because I am speechless. I don't know how to proceed because my legs are bound. I don't know what to do because I am frustrated.

Frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed as a result of being unable to achieve, or change something. Some may wonder, what can cause frustration to a teenager? To them my answer will be: teenagers have quite many reasons to be frustated , and often most of them whom we see everyday are going through a 'phase' which may not be so visible. Always what it seems is not what it really is. A person may look quite happy and jolly but it may happen that that person goes through depression (we shall talk about this later) or frustration. A frustrated person does not always go around and beat drums confessing his problems and miseries aloud; such a person either keeps it all to himself, or shares it with the ones whom he trusts.

There might be many reasons for a teenager to be frustrated. It may be their inability to perform well academically, it could be their fears telling them not to take risks, it could be peer pressure telling them to do things which they might be afraid of, it might even be some school bully. Sometimes, it may also be their parents, pressurizing them to pursue some stream or career of the former's choice. A lack of confidence which sometimes tells them that they are not good enough, or that they can't achieve some desired career, or that others are way too better than them can also be another reason. Apart from these there might be other reasons too, like inability of handling too much pressure from their surroundings. Frustration from such reasons may not be so bad at first, but it may increase with time and over thinking of those issues. When a person in such kind of difficulty is not able to speak out, either to a group or to a single person, their frustration might increase. They may start feeling helpless or that no one understands them, but inside they themselves know that it would be better if they could share their feelings with  some other person. Such a person may be unwilling to open up (even if that might be helpful and relieve them of some stress ) as he thinks most of the people around him will misunderstand him, but he keeps on searching: searching for some person who might understand, and will be able to guide him so that he can think in an organized manner.

Thus, frustration may have many roots, numerous branches and varied leaves, but in the end it leaves the victim in trouble. My advice will be please try to talk to your peers if you notice something unusual about them. While doing that make sure that you have a likewise mentality else even you may have difficulty in perceiving what he is saying. Sometimes it is even better to leave a crying person alone than to keep poking him asking him what is wrong: he may either explode in anger, or he may cry even more. If he is left alone for some time, maybe it will help heal his wound.☺
