Answering what it means to be a teenager from the adult world implies putting yourself in the shoes of boys and girls who are going through a stage of metamorphosis. Empathizing with them is the first step in figuring out how to help them find their place.
The psychiatrist and popularizer Marian Rojas Estapé emphasizes the importance of accompanying adolescents and educating them in critical thinking, at a time when the digital world fosters a new way of understanding relationships. In a society in which friendship through the screen is intermingled with physics and young people look for how to fit all the pieces together.
Friendship is one of your resources to understand the changes you experience in your life. Belonging to a group of friends opens up a universe of shared experiences that helps them understand their environment and get to know themselves.
It is a stage of change in which they usually feel more understood by people their age than by their family, but the guidance of mothers and fathers is important so that they can discern between a healthy friendship and a negative or toxic one.
