Teen Trauma

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce this blog “Teen Trauma” and tell you a little bit about myself.

First, I would like you to know from the start that I am not a counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. I am a mother of two adult children, a boy and a girl, 21 and 23 years old.

I raised my kids in a changing neighborhood on the south-side of Chicago and I have seen my kids and their friends go through things no one should have to experience. Yet here we are at the end of that dark tunnel of the teenage years and we have not only survived but have become stronger for it.

I’m going to write about throw away kids, drugs, school violence and gangs among many other things. At the least you’ll know if your family is facing the same problems, that you are not alone, and at the most you may learn from my experiences and my mistakes.

I hope you will check in here often and that you find a friend in these articles and continue to have the patience and courage that it takes to see that your own teens make it to that proverbial light at the end of this teen tunnel.
