Well counselling with teenagers is very tedious thing, because they are very moody and only want to understand things and matters which are of there interest. So when a person is counselling with teenager, must know all of there hobbies and interest. One should also know there activities, there likes, dislikes. When counselor will know all the information of the teenager then he can easily convey his points or suggestions to teenager.
When you start counselling then first asks about there needs or demands, means what they want to do.
Let us suppose that a teenager want to go to a place which is not safe for him/her, but he/she is continuously insisting. Now it's your responsibility that you first ask him/her that, what is the reason he/she only want to go to that place only, why not anywhere else. So after listening to his/her views, you have to decide and think that, which is the other place where he/she can get equal entertainment. So you give your option, but very politely and also tell the drawbacks of the place, where he/she want to go, and tell the good points of your suggested place. He/she must consider what you are saying and will understand.
Don't ever impose your ideas on teenagers, if you do so they will become more aggressive and your counseling will become problem for you.
