The Silent Struggles of Teens: How to Know When They’re Feeling Lost

Feeling lost doesn’t mean a teen is depressed or anxious. It’s often about lacking confidence, direction, or the ability to process emotions. Teens need guidance to navigate these challenges and build resilience. By recognizing the signs, offering support, and normalizing their emotions, parents can help them find their path. When needed, mentors, coaches, or therapists can provide additional guidance.
