The psychologist spoke about the mental problems of teenagers after a negative experience on the notes

Stressful situations at teenage parties can seriously harm a child's mental health, cause depression, suicidal thoughts, and other difficult-to-predict consequences, Elena Zamyshevskaya, a specialist in deviant adolescents, told Izvestia.

"It is important to keep in mind the psychological pressure and risks associated with substance use, as well as the threats from strangers and digital deviations. Parents, teachers and teenagers themselves need to be aware and careful to avoid undesirable consequences," the psychologist said, answering a question from Izvestia about illegal New Year's Eve parties for teenagers.

She noted that under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a teenager can become a victim of people with malicious intentions. And it's not just about physical or sexual violence.

"This can be expressed in covert filming of intimate moments without the consent of a teenager, the creation of compromising photos and videos, followed by blackmail or the distribution of these materials," Zamyshevskaya concluded.
