Moura: Good Morning everyone!

For our presentation, we decided to choose the topic

about teens´ problems and worries. (slide 1)
Babi: I would like to give you a short overview of my presentation, starting with the table of
contents. We are going to talk about several topics, the first one we're going to explain what
is the adolescence and why adolescence is a different phase for everyone, then which are
the most common problems , telling what they are and how we can deal with them. And
finally, talk about how we can look for help or who can help us. (slide 2)
Moura: The adolescence is a phase of maturation which girls and boys become adults. It is
characterized by severals changes on a physical, psychological, and sexual level. During
adolescence, people develop a sense of who they are and learn to form close relationships
with people who aren´t family members. A process that is not peaceful. (slide 3)
Babi: As the process will never always be peaceful, there will be many discussions with the
parents and also a few problems in general. (slide 3) So, as there are problems with the
parents, there will be others that cause us major headaches. Which are low self-esteem,
social isolation, bullying, obesity, toxic relationships and sexuality. (slide 4) Here are some
examples of problems and we will specify each of them. (slide 5)
Moura: Bullying is a very common social problem, but in adolescence it becomes even more
serious. However, parents or teachers are not always aware of bullying situations and the
impact they can have on our lives. The first thing to do when we are bullied is to talk to
someone, an adult we trust. And then there are many other things we can do, such as
ignoring the bullier, never walking alone, and having the courage to talk to someone
(bullying slide 5)
Babi: Teenagers undergo radical transformations in their appearance and there are a few
ways to solve it. One of them is to exercise your capacity for self-confidence. Contrary to
what many people believe, being self-confident doesn't mean that you think you're better
than others. Self-confidence is the ability to trust yourself. So do the things you like to do to
feel better (low self-esteem slide 5).
Relationships are fundamental in our lives, but they are not always easy to keep healthy. For
a healthy relationship to exist, there needs to be mutual respect, trust and communication
on the part of both of you. To be able to deal with toxic relationships, it is important to ask
for help and always create a limit of intimacy (unhealthy relationships slide 5)
Moura: (slide 6) All these problems need a solution and we don't always have to help
ourselves alone. Even if there are psychologists, our parents are always our safe haven, so
we must trust them to tell them everything. But we have to remember that we also have
friends who may not be many, but they are always enough to help us with something we
need.
So it's not that deep, Adolescence is a challenging phase in which we have to mature and
learn to deal with our mistakes.
