The thing that I would want all teenagers to know, is that there are always resources to help. They don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. If they are ever experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide, there is always someone who they can reach out too. It may not be the first person who they contact, but if they know where to go thatwould be the first step in getting help. Sometimes they might not get the hand they hoped for, however they need to be persistent in talking to someone who they can trust. Speaking up and ending the stigma is not only important for those seeking help, but for those who are also suffering and feel like they don’t have a voice. Be the listening ear, when someone needs you because you never know if that someone could someday be you.
