My story

How Criticism Led Me to Build TeensForLife

Growing up, I was often surrounded by voices that weren’t always kind. In college, especially, I faced a lot of criticism. People around me were harsh—they judged, misunderstood, and belittled me. It wasn’t easy. The words and actions of others made me question myself, and for a long time, I felt isolated and lost. But in that loneliness, something powerful began to happen. Without the noise of other people’s opinions drowning me out, I started to truly discover who I was. When I was left alone, I had no choice but to confront myself. This period of isolation became a time of reflection and growth. I became motivated to explore the depths of my own mind, to ask the hard questions about who I wanted to be, and why I was letting others define me. I started learning about personal development, psychology, and what it means to be emotionally strong. The more I learned, the more empowered I felt. I began to realize that those criticisms, while painful, were not the truth about me—they were simply reflections of the people who said them. This understanding allowed me to transform my loneliness into a space for growth and learning. As I explored more about myself, I found that so many teens, like me, are lost, misunderstood, and seeking validation in a world that often seems harsh and unforgiving. That realization sparked something inside me—I wanted to create a space where teens could feel supported, understood, and safe to be themselves without fear of judgment. And that’s how TeensForLife was born.

Empowering Teens

envisioned a community where every teen could find support, where experts in mental health, friendships, and life skills would be readily available to guide them. I knew that if I could go from feeling alone to finding clarity and self-awareness, others could too—with the right resources, support, and a community that cared. Today, TeensForLife is more than just a platform. It’s a movement for every teen who’s ever felt out of place, who’s struggled to find their voice, or who’s faced harsh criticism. We’re here to help you with your real problems—whether it’s through regular workshops with expert psychologists, mental health resources, or just a community where you can talk and be heard. My mission is to create a place where teens don’t have to feel alone like I once did. Together, we can help each other grow, overcome the challenges we face, and build a future where every teen feels empowered and understood.
