Today our kids are struggling with themselves inside. they dont tell anyone out of fear of being called a liar. but there are some who do lie about having menta health issues. thats why some kids dont know what they are dealing with. some think that what they are feeling is normal and that its how everyone feels. but in reality their actually feeling a mental illness. todays kids think feeling sad after being rejected or broken up or even when they dont get their way. thats not depression or anxiety or ptsd. usually people mistake this as depression. what we need to do its start talking to our kids suspend the people that are bullying and get over our pride and put the kids first. wouldnt yall agree?

People who self diagnos themselves are a part of the problem. They make bigger, more important issues seem like not being important. This then leads to people who actually suffer from mental illnesses to not feel validated and/or accepted. Mental illness is becoming a topic that people are starting to talk more about, which is a good thing.
Self diagnoses is definitely a problem with young people. This plus the American exclusive "direct to consumer" marketing of over the counter drugs can lead to young, unjustified deaths.
I think self diagnosis are very dangerous. The mind is one of the most powerful things in the world. If a person decides to selff-diagnose they could potentially make themselves believe that they have the problem even though they have nothing wrong.
Great topic choice Shania and am glad you got this posted, even thought it is late. Be sure to comment back to students.
Yeah and most of these kids are experiencing anxiety and depression because of school, and then the school wonders why everybody's depressed. These kids need to be told that it's okay to talk about how your feelings, whether that be your friends, parents, teachers, or the school therapist.
I agree that there are a lot of kids now who don't want to talk about how they are doing because of bullying or pressure. Being scared to talk about yourself should not be normal for kids. People who bully or try to bring them down should be punished.
Yes, i think in the recent future schools should take some step on these kind of matters, because actually lot of people are suffering from it, schools can make a some sort of education system about it.
I think a lot of kids over react to how they are feeling, they feel really sad and then they conclude themselves to be depressed when it turns out it was just a bad day. Then they get up the next morning feeling fine and then get on with their day. I think there should be punishments for bullying kids, that is so horrible.
Yes, I agree that it is a problem and many people fake it for attention. Also I think they should just give detentions for bullying and after so many you get suspended, and it was nothing to do with pride .
yes
