Online support when summer parties stop being fun for your teen
Late July and early August can bring intense social pressure for teenagers to drink, experiment and stay out late. From the outside it may look like they are simply having fun, but inside they might feel scared, confused or ashamed of what happened. Online therapy offers a private space to talk about these experiences without fear of punishment or gossip. We discuss consent, group pressure and the difference between curiosity and self-destructive risk-taking. Together we identify warning signs that a situation is becoming unsafe and practise phrases your teen can actually use to step back. We also explore how to handle memories they regret, so they do not turn into secret burdens. If you sense that your teenager’s holiday stories have a tone they are not ready to share with you, more information online can help them get support in a language they understand.
