Teens: Don’t be drama queens!

All the world’s a stage

“All the world’s a stage and all men and women must play their part”

Rightly said, Shakespeare’s words adjudicate human exaggeration of emotion and justify the dramatization and flamboyant expressiveness of sentiments. There are always those moments that render mankind vulnerable, helpless and susceptible to a dwindling balance of reaction; however repeated exaggeration of this sort solidifies this behavior, which then becomes part of the ‘dramatic’ individual’s persona.

Activate the guilt centre

Ways of the world

Everything we do is not always streaked with morality. The world survives and thrives on logic and analytical application of carefully deliberated information. The classic systems in place, education, information, communication, technology, industries, businesses, research and development; all apparently base themselves on the needs of society and the duty that each doer performs to oneself and the world. This is expectantly with the hope of making the world a better place for the survival of the self as well as generations to follow. Does that leave any room at all for morals and righteousness and would they play a role in anything at all in the world today?

The guilty conscience

Morality

A guilty conscience denotes existence of a moral standard within oneself; a super ego that has the ability to identify a compromise in morality, subsequently directing an individual towards pro social acts. Guilt is an emotion and brings out responsibility towards the violation, typically warranting merit for the correction. Guilt can also have negative eventualities with self-blame leading to withdrawal, self-resentment, delusions and frequently suicide. Consciousness as well as unawareness of guilt can have ruinous outcomes. It is imperative to understand and deal with guilt to reach a truce in the battle between the id and ego as well as ego and super-ego.

Footloose

Living like a hermit

We are only too comfortable in our skin. We don't want to adapt; we expect the world to mould itself around us; while we continue to be the fixated rock of Gibraltar. Life is simulated to a pack of instant food today; easy solutions, quick fixes, laid-back attitudes. The inertia makes the unruly clay of personality hard, and disallows any movement from the static. One becomes rigid, inflexible, stubborn and arrogant. What starts as inertia, culminates in broken friendships, messy relationships and poor social connects. All just because we were too stuck to our position and resisted change. Change that could allow growth. Change that could make all the difference. Change that could move mountains. But change that required some effort. Effort that we thought we were incapable of putting in...

Sexuality and its problems

Importance of sexuality

Everyone has sexual feelings, attitudes, and beliefs; at the same time, everyone's self-experience of sexuality is unique because of the intense personal perspective involved. Having accurate awareness about healthy sexuality is very important for the nourishment of intimacy between couples. It is also instrumental in promoting sexual satisfaction and enhancing the sensitivity of interpersonal relationships. Sexuality has significant impact on the overall wellness of all people. One needs to get beyond the taboo and accept one's own as well as sexuality of the partner. This mindfulness helps deal with sexual problems in case they ever arise.

Parenting anger step 3:Take charge

that's not pretty!

Once you see things in perspective and you have been the good detective, you are in better position to take charge of the situation. Your reactions and responses have to be smart and guarded. You cannot lose control, not even for a moment else the ‘Operation Child Modification’ that we had started with, will fail and your satellite will be back on the ground right where you started off.
