Answer: "If a miracle happened and your shopping compulsion was overnight, how would you know it was solved, and what would be different?"
Explanation:
Being a solution-oriented therapist, asking this question will prompt her client to think deeply about what might bring an end to his addiction. While the second question looks into the effects and the last question traces the origin of the addiction, the first question quoted about seeks to find a lasting solution.
Intense mood swings known as major depression and mania.
This heavily depends on many other factors and variables that will likely change in your lifetime. Right now, you’re a student, so it’s implausible for you to save large amounts because you most likely don’t earn the same amount of money the average adult does.

Explanation:
An increase in the number of social grants to teenage mothers is likely to have negative consequences as listed:
i) Grants make people lazy and dependent on the government
The teen mothers will not be motivated to become self-reliant by looking for work. Instead they rely on the government grants to acquire capital which they use for their needs.
ii) The child grant increases teenage pregnancy.
This is where teen mothers may become pregnant intentionally to access the grants.
iii) Recipients misuse grant money.
The teen mothers may use the grants to buy drugs and abusing of alcohol. The monies are primarily used for food and some basic non-food items such as school fees and uniforms, health and transport.
iv) Social Life
When the number of social grants to teen mothers are increased, their social lives are impacted negatively. These teen mothers see themselves as pariahs and burdens to the society. They are likely to withdraw from social life due to the shame and low self-esteem they often experience.
v) Financial Life
Due to the fact that these teen mothers often do not have stable jobs, their financial lives are uncertain. They depend on the social grants for their upkeep. If these grants are increased many teen mothers do not perceive the value of looking for employment.
vi) Education
Since most of the teen mothers drop out of school after they become pregnant, their education ceases. Increasing the number of social grants discourages them from completing their studies. They reason that since they are getting 'free money' there is no need for further education.
