Troubled Teens Resources

If only us parents could get a sneak peak into our kids lives when they think we’re not looking. Well that wish came true for some parents courtesy of Youtube.com.

In this first situation, a mom received a phone call from another parent regarding something she found her teens and friends watching on Youtube.com. The concerned and informative parent (also a very good friend) thought this mom may want to see what her daughter was up to and provided the link. Apparently her 15 year old daughter had gone to a party, gotten a little tipsy and did some very embarrassing things. By the time the girls parents were able to track down the person who uploaded the video and get them to take it down, the entire school had seen it and the whole town was talking about it. Her parents were completely shocked because they had no idea about this part of their daughters’ life.  No one did really, except for select friends.

In another situation, a concerned friend had tried numerous times to seek help for her friend, but no one believed the concerned friend. Parents and other adult authority figures refused to believe this troubled teen could do what the concerned friend was claiming. They even tried to accuse the concerned friend of jealousy.  As a last stitch effort to save her friend, she secretly video taped her at a party and sent an anonymous email to the troubled teens parents with a link to the uploaded video. They sure believed her after that and the troubled young lady got the professional help she needed.
