So today I wanted to write about something a little more sensitive and serious. It has occurred to me that all around schools there is so much depression and insecurity around us and we don't even know it. I cannot even count on one hand the amount of people I know that are suicidal and cut themselves or starve themselves or in some way self-harm themselves because they are not happy with their life. Do we really all think this is acceptable to just leave like this!? I don't think it is. It is appauling how much it goes on in front of our eyes and some of us are oblivious to it but I am certainly not.
I have too, been through depression and self-harm. Not as bad as other people have it, but I have and it is a horrible place to be in. A lot of my friends self-harm and get bullied and feel crap about themselves. A lot of my friends will know that I am aiming this blog post at them and they should because it makes me so angry that schools cannot see all this. There are only a few people who actually admit to any of these feelings or being bullied or whatever and that makes me so sad. :-(
To be honest, I think that schools waste too much time on putting students, especially year 9 and upward when GCSE's start, under way too much pressure. I know that I feel like that, I feel like I am under so much pressure to get amazing levels and be a perfect student when sometimes I just want to cry and go home or run away so no one ever finds me and hide away from the pressure of school. It is a lot for a teenager to go through on top of friend/boyfriend/girlfriend issues, puberty and other things; lots of adults see it as a little bit pathetic and tell us to get on with it but it isn't always as simple as that. We all have things that stress us out and make us feel horrible it's just that our 'worst situation' is different to our parents'. I don't think adults fully understand, which is stupid really as they were also once our age!!:/
This blog post will probably just come across as a bit of a rant, and in a way I guess it is. But please, anyone that is reading this, just think about what you say and how it could effect another person and make sure you realise that you are amazing no matter what anyone says!
This blog post is dedicated to Connor and Daisy :-) <33
