Family Expectations and Obligations

Teenagers: Indian teenagers often feel the weight of family expectations, whether it's taking care of younger siblings, upholding the family’s reputation, or fulfilling cultural or religious duties. This can create stress and a sense of being trapped. Parents: Parents may place high expectations on their children, not just in terms of academics or career, but also in terms of behavior, family roles, and responsibilities. These expectations can sometimes be unrealistic or lead to unnecessary pressure.
