3. Seeking reassurance

Whilst the majority of teenagers will be trying to seek reassurance about certain things from their peers or people they look up to, it can become a problem when the behaviour becomes obsessive. Signs to look out for are things such as asking if what they are doing is good, or whether or not they are annoying when they are talking. They may even ask their peers for reassurance over how their room/home looks, whether the things they own are adequate or their clothes look good etc.
