What makes teens happy
Adolescence is a time of change. Before entering into it, the child goes through various stages of life and emotions. Many parents may recall how they felt fear, pain, or disappointment when thinking about raising their child. But he grew up – and his parents are happy, seeing that everything is fine with him.
