 Teens VS  Society

 Depression

 I believe that a family is parents and their children living together in a harmonious life,  where  family members have trust and love each other. Love, trust and security brings and  keeps a  family together.

 To have a happy family and to be a harmonious family, we need love and trust. Without  love  and  trust, it was very hard for my family to stay united. How could it be possible to live  with  somebody that I could not trust in; we were not caring about each other. Because I  couldn't  trust my parents and love them, it was difficult to express my feelings and discuss  my problems  with them. This led to misunderstanding one another and caused a lot of  problems in the family  such as arguments and righteousness. Discussions were not about  the problems but about  picking on each others mistakes, weaknesses and past  wrongdoings. That is why we need love  and trust in the family. I believed, my parents  assisted me to survive my life better. Before the  problems began, love and trust was the  basis of the relationship with my family.

 Security is the most important thing that every joyous family has. When I had a content  family I  felt that I was under protection because my parents and brothers surrounded me  and made me  feel secure. If I was in trouble, my family assisted me to solve the problems  somehow.  Everybody took responsibility for each other's problems. For me, security means  that feeling  being safe and having company.

 Now I have moved out of my family because I no longer have trust and love with them. I lost  security by living outside my family and every night I am by myself, sometimes with no one  to  talk to. I found that without my family it is hard to survive, and then I realized that my  family still  showed that they loved and care about me. So I run as fast as I can to my mum's  house and try  to love my family again.
