For many parents, the onset of adolescence feels like living with a stranger. The child who once sought comfort now seeks conflict. However, viewing teenage anger as a "behavioral problem" misses the mark. It is more accurately a developmental milestone —albeit a loud and stressful one. 1. The Biological "Lag": Why They Can’t Just Calm Down To understand teen anger, we have to look at the architecture of the adolescent brain. The brain develops from the back to the front. The

I remember looking through an old photo album with my father, and seeing an image of my grandmother, smiling with the glow of youth, surrounded by friends. She was beautiful. She was healthy. She was standing .  More than 15 years ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. You may have heard the name before, but the true implication of such a diagnosis is never understood. Unlike more known diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, not many people know what Park

Think of your body like a high-end smartphone. To keep it running at peak performance, you need the right charger, regular software updates, and a solid case. Now, imagine a background app is running that you didn’t download—one that’s slowly draining your battery, lagging your apps, and overheating the processor without you even realizing it. In the real world, that "background app" is often High Blood Pressure (HBP) . Even if you feel totally invincible right now, understan

Some days, you wake up craving long conversations, endless jokes, voices you love. And some days, you wish everyone would just quietly let you be. And here’s the honest truth — you don’t have to explain it to anyone. Not every day will make sense. Not every feeling will come with a neat reason. And that’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’re human. We aren’t built to feel one thing forever. We’re made of soft shifts, odd moods, loud laughs, silent nights. And you, w

Introduction: The Vegan Dream (and Why It Usually Fails) All of us at some point have had a dream to go vegan... live that "healthy" lifestyle that we see millions of influencers living. You open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and there's just this flood of creators posting their plant-based meals, glowing skin, and crazy energy levels. They make it look stupidly easy and honestly? It's pretty aspirational. Just the aesthetic alone - those smoothie bowls with every color imagi

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which poses a significant global health challenge. With rates of type 2 diabetes steadily rising, prevention has become a public health priority. Fortunately, mounting evidence shows that lifestyle modification—including healthy dietary habits, regular physical activity, weight management, and avoiding tobacco use—can play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of developing diabetes.

Exams are a defining part of every teenager’s academic journey, and with them often comes the pressure to perform well. For many students, this pressure snowballs into stress, affecting both their mental well-being and their ability to focus. While a little nervousness before a big test is natural, overwhelming exam stress can make the experience daunting—and even hinder success. The good news is: there are proven strategies that can help manage these anxious moments. In this

One afternoon, you go grocery shopping with Shelby, your new vegan roommate, and you skim the dairy section, instinctively looking for some whole milk-your reliable breakfast staple. But you clearly forgot your vegan friend was right next to you. She was eyeing the familiar faces you’ve never said “Hi” to. Out of curiosity, you read the label on one of the cartons: Oatstanding . “It can’t possibly taste that oatstanding ," you mutter. Shelby remarks, “Hey! That’s my go-to! Ma

At 2:37 a.m., the room is silent, but the mind is not. One conversation, one text, one unfinished thought replays on loop. For emotionally sensitive teens, this is all too familiar. Overthinking can feel like a storm inside the brain, a constant churn of what-ifs, should-haves, and worst-case scenarios. This is not just being dramatic or too emotional. There is real psychology and neuroscience behind why sensitive teens overthink and why it can feel impossible to switch off.
