How do I get past the inner turmoil a teenager faces?
The moment I stepped into my teenage years, I felt a shift in the way my family views me. I went from being a child...to being an adolescent child? I'm seventeen now. And you can imagine how detrimental it is to my inner struggle of self-identity. I am treated as a child if I dare raise an opinion and yet expected to make decisions that I simply can't understand when it all changed. Or how it changed? We learn to accept, but should we accept? #acceptance #defeat #intellectualquestions #humane-society #child-psychology

Can i get some advice on my future plans?
Hi. My name is Ross and i just finished my CSEC/GCSE exams and ive been thinking about the future....my career to be exact. First of all im trying to pin down exactly what i want to be. This might be a bit confusing but please bear with me. Ok ive based my career upon psychology, mainly child/adolescents so a child psycholgists? I dont know if thats a job on its own but ill go into more detail. So growing up and learning abot myself and figuring myself out i have realised that i do have alot of problems and as a teen i have learnt how terrible life can be. But something occured to me and then i decided that i want to help people who are as troubled as i am and have no one to talk to about it or vent. All i see on the news are teens commiting suicide whether its because of bullying or death in the family and being depressed and introverted or have bad anxiety and some are just basically afraid of life. Getting back on track i decided for myself that i wanted to be there for these guys whether they be autistic, suicidal, foster kids, traumatized kids (abuse etc). I want to be able to help anyone with any social,mental or emotional problem cope and be able to live their lives without all these weights on their shoulders because boy do i know what that feels like. I'll be so happy if i can be able to comfort people in their darkest hour by giving a proper diagnosis and great advice and making sure they know how to go about their path to recovery. Now in reading all of that what do you think im going for....? A therapist? social worker? If a child/adelescent psychology a job on its own am i leaning towards that? Does anyone know any specific job area i seem to be talking about? Ive been thinking but i cant seem to figure it out. Anyways back to the future talk, i have set my mind on studying in Canada and im sure my career path has to do with psychology so my second question is what are some good colleges/universities for psychology in Canada that i can check out on the internet because i feel its about time i look for a university to set my eyes on. The reason is...for me to function properly i need to have goal set of that makes sense once i have my eyes set on something my mind just clicks and i work tirelessly to achieve what i set out for. That mentality has gotten me far as ive have excelled in my examinations. Also for anyone who has experience how would i go about migrating to Canada to study? I do know i need a study permit but the whole idea is too vague for me. Lastly, how long would my career in child psychology? (dont know what to call it yet) take and what degrees/training would i need to obtain? To anyone who answers this mess, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart its just that i confused myself and have no clue where i should head of to when i get to this point in my life. #psychology #child-psychology #counseling-psychology
What are the requirements to become a psychologist for teens?
I am asking this because I see a psychologist every Wednesday, and have been for the past 4 years, for personal issues, and it helps me so much. My psychologist is someone who gives me a sense of hope and tells me reasons to be alive. Therefore, going to my psychologist for the longest made me want to major in psychology; the idea of helping someone smile when they had forgotten to smile, is happiness to me. And if i become a teen psychologist I can relate to most patients that I help. #psychology #child-psychology #counseling-psychology #career-details

In which career in the psychology/therapy fields would ASL and foreign languages be most valued?
I speak 2 languages (including English) fluently and 3 more at varying degrees of functional fluency. One language I know that I think is particularly unique is American Sign Language, which I learned in school and at an academic summer camp. Now that I'm thinking about potential career choices in the fields of psychology and therapy, I wonder where my language skills would be most valued. I mean this in the sense of the value of being able to help a community with less resources available to them, and also in terms of the financial value this career path would have to me. Especially, I wonder if I could make a big difference by working with people in the Deaf community--are there already a lot of people doing that? I really want to work in therapy much more than in psychology, as far as that makes any difference in answering this question. Thanks in advance! #psychology #language #social-psychology #child-psychology #school-psychology #languages #moral-psychology #american-sign-language
