Why society is unfair with teen male?
The way in which my son is branded and spoken of is very exaggerated and unfair. Through the past month he experienced a difficult time going through a split with his fellow peer. He tried to reach for help through his teachers and a social worker, hoping to find a way to cope and instead he was abused with statements such as “this young man is experiencing significant mental health issues.” This all occurred because he dared to cry and show sorrow when he was told by the peer that she felt uncomfortable talking to him. Furthermore, after this incident that occurred on March 24, 2014, the peer contacted my son first on the same day.
Approximately two weeks after, I was phoned at work by the principal, informing me that she would call the police if I was not able to come and pick up my son after school. I asked her to wait for me around 5-10 minutes, and moments after we had finished our conversation, she called the police nonetheless. She had also told my son that she would not call the police unless he left the school. He did not leave and the police was still called. My son was escorted by the police to the ER per the principal’s statement that my son was having a “suicidal crisis.” The principal came to this conclusion based on a Facebook conversation between my son and the peer which was shown to the principal by the peer. Recently, I read the messages in which my son stated “I’m always going to be there for you.” These words obviously show no intentions to commit suicide.
My son was assessed by the ER team by Dr. Doey, a psychiatrist at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital where he was escorted by the police. He was released in the same night from the hospital as the ER team claimed that he was not in a crisis. The psychiatrist had not considered he needed any follow-up appointments or medication. He was not diagnosed with ant mental health illness. I communicated all of the results to the principal; however, she didn’t accept my son to go back to school for a week

    Lee is a fifth grader who is in the foster care system. He has been moved through three different foster homes in two years due to his violent and disruptive behavior towards both children and adults. He is currently in a foster home with two other children (the natural born children of the foster parents). Violent or disruptive behavior is defined as any behavior that disrupts the learning or living environment, causes physical injury or harm, involves life-threatening or dangerous drug use, and/or involves intent to cause injury or damage to a person or property. Thus, Lee has been exhibiting behaviors that at school would be considered disruptive. He is likely aggressive and argumentative with other students and teachers. He is likely an Oppositional Defiant Disorder child (as many foster children are), which entails students “pushing back” at any source of authority or conflict. It is often a defense mechanism used by children who feel powerless to control their surroundings. This can create aggression, violence or even drug abuse in children and teens with this condition.…

    Many studies of young people show that if a person's friends engage in a behavior - everything from cigarette smoking to drinking alcohol to shoplifting to sexual activity - an adolescent is highly likely to conform to his or her friends' behaviors and try these activities. The alternative is for the youngperson to seek different friends with values more in line with his own. Often, however, the desire to be part of a group and the fear of social isolationmakes it more appealing to change behaviors than to seek other friends.…

    My younger brother was what schools and communities like to label a “troubled kid”, his antics making history when he was the first kindergartner to be expelled from our private school. What my mother saw was a carbon-copy of herself, and every side eye and negative comment was an echo of offensive remarks made about her own behavior as a child. Whenever my brother got into trouble for his disregard of authority or bad attitude, my mother saw it as a victory: my brother wasn’t just sticking up for himself, he was sticking up for my…

    Hollywood’s idea of a teenaged girl is very cookie-cutter; phone in hand, eyes that are constantly rolling when they aren’t texting, and copious amounts of drama with other girls. This stereotype can be seen in films similar to Mean Girls, Clueless, and The Pacifier. Unfortunately for Hollywood, girls are more complex than this and can’t always fit into this stereotype. Teenaged girls like Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist fighting for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize winner, have no time to fit into Hollywood’s teen girl image. Many movies depict teenaged girls as addicts to texting, tweeting and drama. Hollywood even makes entire films on how social media can create a negative atmosphere and takes over girls’ lives according…
