Nicole Betrayed
12 year old's drawing about
being bullied at new school.

 Does Your Teenager Struggle With Bullying?


Greetings!  

 

It's not easy being a teenager today and it's even more challenging being a 12 year old who was previously home schooled or in private school and entering public Middle School.

 

Bullying is a buzz word today that perks ears of interest and concern by parents and teachers alike, but what exactly does it translate into for a child?   

 

When Nicole came to me with the issue of being bullied at school  I asked her what was going on and realized she didn't have the proper words to describe her feelings. So I had her draw a picture which then allowed us to look deeper at this issue and identify more accurate "feeling" words to describe what she was experiencing.    

 

Working with the 8 Levels of Emotions, Nicole was able to identify all of her feelings about being betrayed by her best friend and verbalize her desire to mend their friendship.  I then had her write a letter to her friend expressing everything we discussed which she read aloud to her friend in the presence of both parents.   

 

I discovered Nicole's artistic and language skills were under developed and is emblematic of a generation who has lost many creative and communication skills, as the emphasis and use of technology dominates youth education and culture.    

 

Teaching Nicole the 8 Levels of Emotions showed her how to identify, honor and fully express her feelings. The two girls have reconciled and both have learned important interpersonal communication skills which seem to fall through the cracks in our education system.

Youth Techno-Culture Is Emotionally Clueless

 

Technology has been a blessing and a curse for this current generation of kids who practically come out of the womb with abilities to understand and master computers and smart phones.  If you are stumped about how to use your iPhone, ask any 8 year old.   

 

However, teenage interpersonal and language skills are lacking because youth techno-culture is all about language short cuts, acronyms and slang that bypass descriptive words creating much misunderstanding and incomplete communication.

 

In addition to raising a generation lacking in emotional intelligence, we are weakening their immune system, making one more prone to colds, flu, illness and dis-ease in the body.   

 

When repressed negative emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, despair, guilt and shame are held in the mind, this causes internal stress to which the body responds by moving into the 'protection mode" response, (freeze, flight or fight response), triggering elevated levels of stress hormones "cortisols" in the body. When these stress hormones remain elevated in a chronic condition, one's immune function is suppressed.  This is why some teenagers will get sick with headaches, stomach problems, colds and flu around final exam time. 

 

This generation of kids are lost in the evolution of technology and until parents start demanding the integration of interpersonal skills in the classroom and enforce family conversation and interaction at the dinner table, our society will become more and more detached and estranged from important social and community involvement.
