Based on the I-Search papers that we completed on teenage development, here are some tips for teenagers to help them be happier and to help them develop in positive ways.

1. 
   

   1. Learn how to communicate with your parents. Let them know what you’re thinking, and how you’re feeling in the most respectful way.

   2. Yelling and screaming is useless and causes mental problems, if your going to punish your teen, do it in a calm manner.

   3. If you’re in a bad environment try to seek help to get out, so you won’t end up hurt or worse.

   4. Try to find hobbies that interest you and keep you out of trouble. Especially when people start to get you mad. Always being angry and violent as a teen can affect the way you handle yourself as an adult.
