They say that adolescence is the most exciting but the most critical part of anyone’s life. In these years, we have experienced many changes and it is often difficult for us to cope with them. In fact, many teens reach the “rebellious stage” where they somehow refuse to obey, causing them to act disrespectful. This is because teenagers are very emotional. They take things too seriously and in cases where they feel discouraged and depressed, they eventually suffer from emotional pain.
Emotional pain becomes severe when a person hides it. And teenagers are in most cases. The question is why do teenagers hide their emotional problems? There are three main reasons for this.
1. Distrust in people
The first is because they don’t trust anyone. And since they don’t trust anyone, they can’t express themselves and share their emotional thoughts. This makes them hide all their emotional problems within themselves. They may have partners, but they don’t find any of them trustworthy.
2. Pretend
The second is that they are shy about showing what they really feel. They are afraid to cry because they think it is a sign of weakness. They would rather pretend they are happy and strong rather than let other people see them as little wimps. That’s a big no-no for teens. But it is understandable that they find it difficult to adjust to sudden changes in their emotions and mindset. The worst part is that they did bring that kind of attitude as they move into adulthood.
3. Childhood trauma
The third is because they may be linked to your childhood traumas. The pain they suffered remained within them as they grew older. When they reach adolescence or adolescence, it is difficult for them to adapt to the environment. This is why they hide their emotional dilemmas.
Hiding your emotional pain and even your problems can cause you too much, even your life. There are cases of suicides and physical injuries of people who suffered severe emotional pain. It is important to prevent this from happening. Parents and seniors need to have a deep understanding of how teens deal with their problems. They must be guided and helped to deal with and deal with these problems so that they learn not to hide their emotional pain.
