As a parent of a high school student. I am very concerned about his mental and emotional status everyday, while he is at school.
Now days, I have heard of so many teenagers committing suicide or so many attempting suicide. It breaks my heart to hear about those on the news or in articles on Facebook/ newspaper. Depression and anxiety are a very serious issue in today's society. But, people who have it really don't want to admit something is wrong. Take it from someone who does have it. You have very dark and gloomy days & other days you are in a good mood.
When I was younger, I was verbally bullied at school. My middle & high school years were the worst years of my life. To my knowledge, back then we didn't have this problem. I don't think we understood why we were down in the dumps. Just that people were saying words that were hurting me.
With me being verbally bullied, I felt worthless, not loved & I was never happy. I always wanted to be invisible. I felt like no one cared for me. I was always down in the dumps. And to the day, I still feel like this.
If you know of someone who suffers from depression, please keep a check on them? Even if it is a message, "Hey, how is it going?" That always helps.
Please say a prayer for everyone that suffers from Depression, anxiety or any other mental health issues!
