Check with your teen that how their day was and how they are feeling and how things are going, listen to their words and observe that is there any changes in their behaviours. Carefully asking the child to share everything with them, what problem they are facing in day-to-day life, they might avoid the question but in a moderate level keep asking about their feelings.
