Why are teens judged for expressing there emotions?

[williamstorm3]

If a teen is angry for any reason, he is "difficult" and "has mental problems" and "its his teen hormones" and he needs discipline or to be seriously told what to do with it or that its innaproiate anger.

If a teen is depressed, he is a "potential criminal" or "violent" and has a "behavioral problem"

what the fuck is this? why do psychologist and counselor define depression, autism, adhd, bulimia, eating disorders as BEHAVIORAL problems? like its a innapropiate behavior problem? f*ck off im tired of this shit.

Because sharp changes in humour and extreme reactions to external stimuli are typical of teenagers.
Their bodies are forming just as their internal systems are. A lack of parenting or excess of it could trigger reactions that would be less than acceptable socially and those are to be fixed before they become a standard staple of that person's behaviour in life.
That's why it's considered behavioural in nature. Because it can become a standard in a person's habits if not taken care of in due time.
Speaking of, how old are you?

Schools are no longer just institutions of learning. Now they have to be nurses, psychologists and a whole array of other functions.
I worked in a K-12 School district for a while. I implemented a computer system for the school nurses. It had a lot of functions including a drug database, psych evaluation, physical exam and it ties into the attendance database and would make a comparison between a student's mood and his attendance.
Everyone had a problem and lots of kids were on meds.
People just need to let kids alone. They will find their way. It's not always a pretty sight but the alternative is having a generation of drugged up kids with no problem solving skills.

Thanks for the MHO.

Yes, it also makes me... ah. It's really hard for the old authorities to listen to feelings in general. But in the past, this conversation would never exist. Remember when depression was not real? Anxiety? We're still judging it wrong, but at least we judge it as real.

Hope you see it. Don't jump down their throat. Anger never ceases. Against ignorance, substantiated silence.

it is usually the teen males that "we urgently need to do something about" Teen girls are given every consideration and whatever they do is excusable. They are always the victims of the teen males

In my opinion it’s the men that have everything excused because “girls mature faster than boys, so they should know better” so many stuff that boys will do that might be messed up at a young age is just shoved under the rug under the false guise that “boys will be boys”

@doopayo hold on a minute u dont think teen boys get in trouble thats not true i do think there is a weird subtle sugarcoating of it or denial of it or semi tolerance but these boys get in trouble often

i think ur kinda right but i dont think teachers just say that just how boy are if there being a fuck boy , using girls, abusing girls, they will listen to the boy but remember every teacher is a person with thouhts and opinions and teenagers are already a marganalized group cuz numerous amounts cause trouble and teachers and parents get frustrated with them frequently so they dont respond appropaitely a lot of the time.
