Teen-ache
Owing to the various psychological, physiological, emotional and behavioral changes that a body undergoes during the teenage, it is considered as one of the most struggling phase of a child development process.
Low self- esteem, teenage depression and violence, lack of ambition in life, emotional strains, dissatisfactions with life, possessiveness, depression, eating disorders, poor performance, social isolation and shyness, chronic health issues, sexual maltreatment, substance abuse are just some of the issues that young people struggle with.
Their altering moods and attitudes become much of a problem both for themselves and for others around. It’s a stage that includes many arguments with the elders, authorities especially. Wanting a free atmosphere, they find it most difficult to adjust with others. However the friends gain utmost importance in their life. Addiction to media too leaves a disruptive impact on adolescents, who get inclined towards day dreaming and making unrealistic assumptions. However the biggest problem arises due the clash of their king sized egos. And most of the times, parents are the one at the receiving ends.
A careful treatment, independent atmosphere, psychological and sex education and vocational guidance can help in the effective management of teenache!

Domestic Violence and Corporates
What do people working in the corporates do when they are victims of domestic violence? Many of these cases follow them to work and sometimes the boss is forced to help the victim because the victim has no one else to turn to. Research says that some of the corporates in America rally around their co-worker not because they want to make it a psychic hospital but because they have no other choice. Other CEOs believe that they are dragged into the issue of domestic abuse because women are connected to the office from their homes via mails, the cell phone and even texting.
HR also realizes that if even if there is a single victim of domestic violence in the workforce, it ultimately affects the lives of all because one in ten is a victim. Sources also say that workers do not have to juggle with both the workplace and their violent personal lives alone, many companies have decided that there must be a policy to help out these silently suffering victims.
