Schleifer stresses that teenagers should NOT try to handle situations on their own, but rather talk about the problems they’re facing and making the most out of it. Doing the complete opposite, the negative approach to insecurities, has led to physical combat, severe depression, self-harm, and a lot more sad outcomes. Schleifer discussed that insecurities do not only break but they do make with proper dealing.
