Career Guidance For Smart Teens

In today’s modern world, teens want to succeed in their careers right from a very early age. The competitive streak is very strong in them and they want to outdo their peers in every respect. Today’s smart teens seek career guidance right from high school. As a teen, you may want to discuss your own ideas on work and seek inspirirational and sound advice from an expert.

One of the best ways to assist you in making future work choices is to first determine your aptitude and interests towards a particular field. You may want to ask yourself a few questions to determine where your interests’ lye:

 What are your favorite subjects at school?
 How do you spend your free time?
 Are you a member of any club at school?
 What kind of community activities are you involved in?
 Do you have any hobby?
 Do you have a passion for anything in particular?
 What kind of summer jobs are you interested in?
 What careers do you find appealing?

You need to find ways to maximize your natural skills and talents and discover your perceptions of your own inherent talents. You could explore different avenues or talk to a person whose job you idealize.You could also approach a professional career counselor for career guidance. Do not be scared of being criticized if you told anyone about your interests. There are always well meaning people to help you out in making an informed decision.

As a teen you may want to enjoy life to the fullest but you have to remember that hard work is the only key to success. You can have a successful career only if you get through high school and college. Of course the prospect of having your own business may seem desirable but never neglect your education.

This is a great site for teenagers to express themselves. I have seen in several houses that teens are not allowed to follow their dreams. They are forced to do what their parents wish for.

Parents should not 'strangle' their kids.

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still pouring t...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Worst Idea Ever-Jane Fallon-Book review

Is your closest friendship built on trust or convenience? Have you ever questioned whether your closest friendship survives on love or habit? This detailed, non partisan review of Worst Idea Ever by Jane Fallon explores jealousy, insecurity, digital deception, and emotional convenience, while honestly critiquing its length, clichés, and uneven characterisation. A sharp look at friendship when kindness turns quietly toxic. Have you ever stayed in a friendship simply because walking away felt harder? You know that uncomfortable feeling when you realise a friendship no longer nourishes you, yet you keep showing up anyway. Not because it brings joy, but because history exists, routines are set, and absence would require uncomfortable explanations. Jane Fallon’s Worst Idea Ever taps directly into that quiet, relatable discomfort. It asks a question many of us avoid asking ourselves. Are we friends because we care, or because we always have been? Published in 2021 by Penguin B...
