Adolescent Case Scenario
Dana starting seeing you, her counsellor when she was 14 years old. Initially, her sessions were related to anxiety that began to peak at the time her parents separated. Dana continued to see you for over six months. As time went on, Dana began to disclose drug taking behaviour and sexual activity. She told you that she would occasionally smoke marijuana with her friends at parties and has protected sex with her boyfriend.
Dana confides that she really appreciates having you to talk to because no other adult understands what it’s like to be a teenager. She is also really happy that you haven’t told her Mum or Dad anything about the drugs or sex.
In this session, Dana discloses that she has broken up with her boyfriend. She also tells you that a friend-of-a-friend is organising heroin for them to try at a party on the weekend. She is really looking forward to it and says it will be her first try of a drug other than marijuana. She is also pleased that there’ll be “lots of new boys there” as they are announcing the party on Facebook.

The way parents acknowledge and responds to a teenager showing the signs of anxiety is highly critical in helping kids foster a necessary sense of competence. The teachers at the international school in Borivali suggests the following strategies that parents should consider to help their kids manage anxiety:
Teen Parent Relationship Boundaries - GenzanduGenZandu
Establishing boundaries in a parent-teen relationship is crucial for fostering mutual respect and understanding. These boundaries may encompass areas such as privacy, communication, curfews, and responsibilities. Open dialogue, empathy, and compromise are essential for setting and maintaining these boundaries effectively. By clearly defining expectations and respecting each other's autonomy, parents and teens can cultivate a healthy, supportive relationship that promotes growth and independence while ensuring safety and well-being.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. What is adolescence?
● Adolescence is journey from childhood to adulthood.
● A child emerges as a man or woman, expected to be ready to assume an adult role in the
society.
● The most eventful years where there is rapid physical and sexual growth and maturation.
4. Emotional changes
● Hormones affect your teenager not only physically but also emotionally.
● • Adolescence is the age between adulthood and childhood. Teenagers are often
confused about their role and are torn between their responsibilities as growing adults and
their desires as children. It is a time when young people may experience an identity crisis as
they grapple with questions about who they are, who they want to be, and how they fit into
the world around them.
● • They tend to feel overly emotional (blame it on the hormones). Just about anything
and everything can make them happy, excited, mad or angry.
● • Adolescent girls are vulnerable to crying.
● • Mood swings are common among teenage boys and girls.
● • Bodily changes result in self-consciousness.
● • Children who hit puberty early may even feel weird.
● • Feelings of inferiority or superiority may arise at this time.
● • Adolescence is the age when sexual feelings arise in youngsters. Feelings and thoughts
about sex can trigger a sense of guilt.
5. ● Solution
● Puberty can be an emotional roller-coaster ride. And it is normal. Here is how you can help
your kid deal with these emotional problems of adolescence.
● • Assist them to take care of themselves. Tell your teenagers that it is okay to feel the
way they are feeling.
● • Encourage them to exercise as physical activity helps keep the serotonini (creates
good feelings and happiness) levels up.
● • Let them talk. Listen to them without judging and avoid giving them advice when they
are not ready for it.
● • Share your experiences of puberty or let them talk to an older sibling who has gone
through the same. It will emphasize that it is okay to feel the way they do.
● • Indulging in a creative activity can help them channelize their emotions.
6. Behavioral changes
● Overwhelming emotions can lead to impulsive behavior, which can be harmful to your child
as well as others. Mostly, it is just teen behavior that will last as long as their adolescence.
● • Adolescence is the time when children develop and exercise their independence,
which can sometimes lead to rebellion. This can give rise to questioning the parents’ rules
(seen as argumentative) and standing up for what they believe is right (seen as
stubbornness).
● • Significant developmental change in the brain makes teens moody, tired and difficult
to deal with.
● • The raging hormones in teenage boys can even push them to get into physical
confrontations. They would also want to listen to loud music.
● • As a part of their new-found independence, adolescents may also want to try new
things and take risks, resulting in careless behavior.
● • Sometimes, peer pressure and the need to ‘fit in’ can make them behave in a certain
way or develop certain habits that are hard to break.
● • Your teen’s dressing, hairstyle, and sense of fashion also change, mostly to something
that you may not approve of.
● • The most troubling behavior is perhaps your teen hanging out with problem children
and adapting to a dangerous lifestyle.
● • Lying is one of the common teen behavioral issues. Teens may lie to avoid
confrontation with parents or out of fear.
7. ● Solution
● • Behavioral problems in adolescence can make life difficult for parents. But remember
that it is a passing phase, and is entirely normal.
● • Gaining your child’s trust is important if you want to help them with behavioral issues.
Talk to them and listen to what they have to say. Do not judge or criticize them, as it could
worsen their behavior.
● • Let them know that you love them just as they are. Encourage them to be true to
themselves and not take on a personality just to please others.
● • Remember that your adolescent child is not completely independent in dealing with
their emotions and needs your support. Help them by telling them what you do when you
feel sad, angry, jealous, etc. They can try those solutions to come out of their own emotional
issues.
● • You will have to intervene if you see them falling into bad company. Remember that
adolescents are sensitive and may not take criticism well.
8. Changes in family structure - Parenting
Disagreements
● Every parent has a different view when it comes to raising their child. For many, how they
raise their children can come from their own childhood experiences and upbringing. If you
and your partner disagree on parenting styles then it’s a good time to talk it out. Discuss the
pros and cons and understand their views on your parenting style.
● Solution: Compromise.
9. Rebellious Children
● A common problem between parents and children comes when children become rebellious
and refuse to listen to their parents.
● From raising toddlers to teens, times can certainly be challenging. Rebellious children can
test your patience and will push all your buttons. In such situations, remember that while you
may not be able to control your children’s actions, you can control how to teach them the
consequences of their actions.
● Solution: Set a positive example of how you react to your emotions. If you are dealing with
an angry teenager, then you can try listening to their grievances and discuss with them,
offering them advice only if they ask you for it. One of the best ways your child can learn is
by making mistakes.
● Let them. As a team, you and your partner can offer them support and help when you see
them flounder.
10. Money Problems
● One of the biggest stressors in any relationship can be finances. Financial stress can raise
tension and create dissonance in a family relationship. Arguments about money and money
management are common family problems that need to be addressed.
● Solution: However, there are many ways to deal with financial stress including creating a
monthly budget. Cutting back on unnecessary expenses – on either side – can also help.
Financial troubles test a relationship in ways not many things do. If you and your partner are
open to solve the issues together, you can get through tough times together.
11. Educational challenges
● High school is not all about fashion, friends, and parties. Children also have a lot of
educational activities on their plate. Dr. Kremer opines, “Adolescents often find academics
challenging due to their struggle for independence during a critical time of brain
development. Adolescents often want to be independent and do not want parents to
remind them about completing their assignments. Their brain is changing in a way that
allows them to go from concrete to abstract thinking, which can often cause them to make
poor academic choices. Adolescents often develop their set of values and unfortunately,
some adolescents don’t make academics a priority.”
● • Academic pressure to excel in their studies and secure a spot in college can be a
significant source of stress for teenagers, often leading to moodiness.
● • Juggling school work, extra-curricular activities (must for college admissions) and
chores at home can be tiring.
● • Distractions at school can result in poor academic performance, which will add to the
pressure.
12. ● Solution
● • Support your child’s aspirations for college education as what they need is the
encouragement to do well.
● • You could cut down their household chores to enable them to focus on their school
projects when needed.
● • Nutrition and exercise can help them get the strength and endurance they need to get
through the hectic high school period.
● • If you notice that your child is experiencing academic stress and feeling overwhelmed
with their daily activities, it may be helpful to reduce the number of tasks they are expected
to complete. Adolescents have not yet fully developed their lung capacity, and therefore
may tire more quickly than adults.
13. Addiction to cyberspace/Information overload
● The advent of social media has changed the way we interact with each other. It has affected
teenage lifestyles the most.
● • Your teen may seem to spend hours on phone, texting, talking or simply playing.
● • Adolescents addicted to the internet tend to have fewer friends and a less active
social life. They lead solitary lives and are happy browsing the internet for hours. (6)
● • Addiction to cyberspace also cuts short their physical activities, resulting in an
unhealthy and sedentary lifestyle.
● • Internet addiction adversely impacts academic performance.
14. ● Solution
● • Do not assume that your child is addicted to the internet just because he or she spends
a lot of time in front of the computer. They could be doing more productive things on the
system other than surfing the net.
● • Do not say ‘no’ to the Internet. That will only make them adamant. Instead, talk about
your concerns and help them work on other things that do not require a computer.
● • You could use parental controls, but that may not be taken well by your teen –
remember that they are not kids anymore. At the same time, they may also not have the
judgment to make the right choices. So guide them as a parent, but never decide for them.
● • Enroll them in activities that encourage them to interact with others. Have family
activities that will make them want to spend less time at the computer.
● • Have some cyber rules and boundaries for everybody at home. Limit the use of the
mobile phone to a few hours in a day, and avoid bringing the phone to the bedroom as it is
likely to affect a person’s sleep.
15. Aggression and violence
● Aggression is especially a concern with adolescent boys. Young boys start to develop
muscles, grow tall and have a coarser, manly voice. In addition to that, they are moody and
vulnerable and can let others get under their skin.
● • Adolescent boys can get into fights at school.
● • Worse, they could start bullying others, which is a major problem that adolescent boys
and girls have to deal with.
● • Boys may fall into bad company and be drawn to acts of violence, vandalism, and
aggression. They could be easily swayed to own or use a firearm or a weapon too.
● • Impulse acts of violence can lead to serious consequences, including death. According
to the WHO report, interpersonal violence causes around 180 adolescent deaths around the
world.
● • Teenage girls are likely to suffer violence or aggression by a partner.
16. ● Solution
Children tend to imitate what they see at home. The following remedies for problems of
adolescence will help abate aggression, violence and related issues.
• Teach your children to be kind and considerate. Nurturing relationships at home can
help them become less aggressive.
• Prevent access to firearms and alcohol early to prevent violence.
• Teach them life skills and the importance of compassion. Lead them by being their
model.
• Avoid exposing them to violent stories, games or movies at an age when they cannot
differentiate between what is right and wrong.
• Make them try alternative ways, such as going for a run, doing yoga or using a punch
bag, for venting out their anger. This way, they understand that it is alright to be angry but how
they deal with it makes all the difference.
