Getting Over Yourself: Helping Troubled Boys Find Their Part in Something Bigger

One of the most common characteristics of troubled boys is that they are self-centered and mostly just concerned with their own happiness, which is why it’s crucial that parents help them learn to get over themselves and find their part in something bigger. Finding something important and meaningful to care about can make the difference with misbehaving young men, because it gives them something to be passionate about and work towards. It makes them understand that their bad behavior is detrimental to those around them, and that there are more meaningful things for them to do than get in trouble.

The first steps toward reforming misbehaving adolescents finding their part in something bigger is instilling in them characteristics like empathy, hard work, compassion, and reliabilityBeartooth Mt.

Making Teens Overcome Selfishness

Most troubled teens have a fairly narrow scope when it comes to who and what they care about. They are typically very preoccupied with their own needs being fulfilled, having little concern for how it inconveniences others. One of the most important steps in assisting adolescents  become responsible, caring, compassionate adults is teaching them that there are bigger things to worry about than their own problems. There are many things that teens can become passionate about and get involved with, but the first step is to make them see the error in their selfish ways and learn the value of working hard and helping others. With this change of heart, teenagers are able to mature and find things they truly care about.
