keeping educated

Why are we more open to the idea of someone breaking an arm than to someone struggling with their mental health? As we reach nearer and nearer to the end of this year’s mental health awareness month, it is important to acknowledge that everybody has mental health, however, some people will have good mental health whilst others will suffer from one or even more mental health issues and therefore they have poorer mental health. Sadly, there are many different incorrect stigmas around things relating to mental health such as around young people’s mental health. And as a young person myself, I believe that more attention should be brought to this issue. Unfortunately, the reality of it is that depression is a leading cause of illness in young people, and suicide is the third largest killer for people aged 15 – 19 alone; there must be a change as soon as possible. The media is in fact, a silent killer and a place where stereotypes take over. I can causally be scrolling on a social media app...

Hi everyone, Recently, I've been researching and looking into several different things including about stuff that is going on in the world now, whilst at the same time finding a way I can use my interests into doing something more and so I though why not start a blog. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while and as we approach week 12 of the UK lock-down as well as being three weeks away from 9 weeks summer holiday , it just seemed like a great time to do something a bit out of my comfort zone and start something new.  At the minute, I will probably just write articles about stuff that's happening but who knows where this will go. I'm very much looking forward to the experience this will give me. Thank youuu, I hope everyone is staying safe at the moment - Princess:))
