This information should be a course for every first year Middle School, High School and College student, and their parents. For students who don't have the familial support system: a reminder of the power each individual has to fulfill their destiny, regardless of family dynamics.
Totally agree! Teens, please do try to take charge of your own happiness, rather than bank totally on your caretakers
Agree!!!!
Wow. The Mobility Myth is alive and well. That’s probably for the best tho: If people were to discover the truth about the future they were promised while they are still kids, they’d all just down tools and not even bother attempting to hold society to its word.
Way under-rated TED talk. I'd rate it one of the most important to hear.
Prof.Raghu , I wish your talk is included in every Parenting session. You have an insight into the topic. You have packed some very doable solutions and the advice is very profound.
Thanks, dear professor Raj for the fantastic talk by TEDx. As a Life coach and teenage mother, I was looking for topics to help myself and my teenage son. Thanks
Great info! Raising teenagers is so difficult. It’s nice to understand a little more about them as they often seem alien to me. 👽
Thank you prof, Im asked by my daughter to assist with her out of control teen who is homeless and feel lost how to start. I find your pointers useful to be able to start the ball rolling between us. Good stuff.
Thank you for this video… I’m so looking forward to practice this with my teenage son.
Excellente vidéo avec des conseils plein de bons sens et très faciles à mettre en place. Merci !
Dear Professor Raj, I have just watched your TEDx Talk on "Raising Happy Teenagers" and I found it fantastic. It is really a great TEDx Talk and I am sure that it will be very useful to both teenagers and parents. I have recently completed your course and I have enjoyed it too much. I was actually thinking that the information and knowledge received from your course arrived very late in my life but in any case better late than never. I believe that your lessons will not just raise my happiness level but help me also to be a better parent and a compassionate person. I believe that with this TEDx Talk you will immensely help both teenagers and parents to raise their happiness levels.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information! You’re insights are thorough yet very applicable! This Ted Talk deserves more views!
Great talk! Very thorough
Every parent should see this
I just watched your TedX talk on raising happy teenagers. I am also currently taking your Coursera Course on Happiness. Very helpful information. I feel you presented a lot of useful information for teenagers and their parents. This could include teachers too. Thank you.
Thanks, June. This is a topic very close to my heart, given that the foundation of a happy life are laid in childhood!
Same here. wonderful talk and I am taking your coursera as well...

16:51 is right on
If the government can force parents to send their children to school, they should also force parents to attend parenting classes every year of development
Good
At last you’re also requesting to make it viral in social media- despite proposing to keep away from digital media
kool beens
Use of social media was a cause of effect of depression in children
Social media certainly play a big role but I would absolutely be disgusted of parents who would downplay their impact on the depression of their children and blame everything to social media. In the first place, teens go to social media to escape their already bad reality.
Why am I watching this when I know my parents will none of them
as a single parent i can say that teenager years are toughest, they have their own decisions already. and video games or mobile games are making it hard for them too, its like a magnet to them that if they start to sit down and play its like they forget everything but the games. Oh My why is it like that.. it seems like they changed personality when they are on games..
For boys the issue isn’t social media - it’s video games.
this is very true..
Indian teaching about good parenting, haha, funny.
Worst tedx ever. So wrong. Absolutely nothing useful here. I gotta get myself on these stages and share how to actually help our teens.
Do it!:)
It is a useful introduction. The ideas are relevant but need to be tailored to individual situations.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 I LOVE EVERY ADVICE HERE
