A Difficult Time

Being a teenager has always been difficult. Emotions and

moods change rapidly. Many teenagers feel confused and
afraid when the safety of childhood is left behind.
Everyone feels unhappy, lonely or misunderstood from time to
time. But a small number of teenagers become depressed
for weeks or months without change, and they begin to find
they cant continue with their normal lives.
Many teenagers dont want to ask, or dont know how
to
ask for help. Perhaps they dont even realise they are
depressed. It is usually other people friends, parents and teachers who
identify the symptoms of depression and offer help.
One teenager explained that after her close friend had died, I became very
aggressive, I snapped at my parents and lost friends. Fortunately for me a
teacher noticed that things were wrong.
Sometimes depression can become a very serious problem, and teenagers think
about trying to escape their feelings. They might consider suicide. When the

problem gets bad, professional help from qualified specialist counsellors is vital.
Counsellors are trained to talk to people about their worries and problems.

I.A. All these statements are wrong. Correct them.

1. Teenagers have never felt confused and afraid.

2. It is not natural that everyone feels sad and lonely sometimes.
3. Teenagers always ask for help and identify the problems by themselves.
4. When depression becomes very serious, there is no risk of suicide.
5. Professional help is needed only when the depression doesnt seem to be bad.

I.B. Answer these questions about the text.

1. Being a teenager is a difficult time. Why?

2. When do teenagers feel confused and afraid?
3. Do teenagers usually realise that they are depressed? Who does it then?
4. What happened to that teenager whose friend had died?
5. What do counsellors do?

I.C. Find in the text (paragraphs 1, 2 and 3) the words which mean the
same as:

1. not easy
notice

2. the time or state of being a child

3. sad

4. start

II.C. Complete with: who, what, when, where, why, which, whose, how
long, how much, how many, how, how often, what time.
