What advice will you give to a teenager who is experiencing great pressure from parents, confusion and problems in his self-esteem? What can he do if his parents do not share his feelings and there are no friends who can talk to him? Will these new feelings just go away soon?

It’s the same for you as any teen in any age. Old records from ancient Egypt record the trials and tribulations of teens, parents and families. You’ll get thorugh it….it’s just a short 7 year span of your life…it only seems important while you’re going through it.
I would advise the teenager to stay calm when discussing things with parents and really listen to what they are saying.
It is quite normal for teens to want to reject what parents are saying but in many cases they really do need to trust parents (not in every situation obviously). You will never find anyone again in life who love you as much as parents. You must get the issues out into the open and deal with them until you have worked them out. Tell your parents how important the things are to you and be prepared to compromise on some points. Maybe there is a school counsellor or a favourite teacher who can help? Just know that this issue is common and teens do grow up and things do get worked o.k. in the end. Just remember to stay calm.
I feel exactly the same except i FINALLY found a good friend. Well keep positive ignore parents (on most things, i know i do and im planning on majoring in psych and sociology) and do good at school )
