Consequences
n. noun
con·se·quences
The Merriam- Webster dictionary provides the following definitions for consequences:
1.the effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier:
The accident was the consequence of reckless driving.
2.an act or instance of following something as an effect, result, or outcome.
Consequences is a prevalent issue in the life of a troubled teen. Troubled adolescents who suffer from negative consequences, do so because of their poor decision making. Whatever choice a teenage boy or girl decides to make, a consequence of that decision will soon follow. If a teen chooses to make productive choices in life, he/she will reap the benefits of positive consequences. However, if a teen makes poor choices such as, abuse drugs and alcohol, skipping class, hanging out with the wrong crowd or disobeying parents and authority, that teen will reap negative consequences. Negative consequences such as, legal troubles, being grounded from parents, or getting kicked out of school due to inactivity or rebelliousness, are all viable and likely negative consequences a teen will experience if he or she is making poor choices.
on the body, young people bounce back, encouraged by the pressure of the group. It is sometimes difficult for a teenager to say no to their friends and be able to go their own way but that can only have a chance of success if the teenager is confident that it is the right choice. Certainty does get respect and this can only be achieved with increased awareness and a strong sense of direction. Obviously not all teenagers have high self esteem and some may court respect by following the lead of others but this is where choosing the right friends and having the right opinion leaders is so important. Only by having some sense of where they are going and knowing who will help and who will hinder them on this road, can young people be more self-determined. Parents should be there to support

Support
Support
/ sup·port/
n. Noun
Support is defined as the act or instance of supporting; serve as a foundation for something else.
Support can be given to many different ways. Through the encouragement to perform and progress and also through being there for someone who needs help. Support is usually shown through family and peers but can come from anywhere from support centers, rehab centers, and treatment centers.
Without a support, confidence would be very difficult to find. Support is key to getting through trials and problems. The ability to have someone that is supporting you and encouraging you to move forward and progress is important to growth and change. Especially with youth, that as they are trying to find out who they are that they feel supported in all of their doings. This is important because as support and encouragement is shown the youth feel confident to become the best they can be.
