    What are the most common problems in the teens you mentor? 

    No inspiration to reach their targets in life, great confusion towards choosing a career option, no clear cut goals, distraction and too much time spent on social media are the most common problems. In boys, I find aggression, rage in one extreme and fear in the other extreme. Stress and pressure are more pronounced in girls, because of the need to achieve the perfect body.

    How important is the role of the parents?

    Sadly, conversations between parents and children are completely devoid of friendliness. Parents need to become more approachable and amiable. As parents’ schedules are erratic, the children don’t get to spend quality time with them and are mostly in the company of their friends. But it is important to take time out and talk to the children.

    What is the most effective methodology that has worked on teens to boost their confidence? 

    Focusing on programs which explore their blind spots, which the students are completely unaware of is the most effective method to enhance their hidden talents. It helps boost their self-esteem.
