[quote=Anonymous]It can be overwhelming during the teen years to see adulthood coming soon and not being ready emotionally for the responsibility. Feeing sad and a little scared about childhood ending. It sounds like that’s what she’s feeling...that the fun is getting ready to end and the drudgery of adulthood to begin. Yes, there are the needs to work and earn money to support yourself and the responsibilities that go with being an independent adult. But with that also comes a wide world of opportunities and choices and experiences that she doesn’t get to choose and experience until she IS an independent adult. It’s something exciting to look forward to. One of the biggest things you can do to help her is to stress that to her. And to reassure her that you’ll there whenever she needs to celebrate the good times and help her through any hard times. That she might be entering adulthood soon but she won’t be doing it alone.
