Many teens suffer from mental health issues, and many have been told that “they are trying to get attention”, “they have nothing to worry about” and more. Teen anxiety and depression are so important and if not helped or treated it can lead to refusing to socialize, constantly sleeping and being in their room, self harm and even at most wanting to commit suicide. Teenagers are forced to just forget about their feelings when they have heaps to worry about and need someone to help where as adults can just get a therapist and since they have “things to worry about” it can seem more important. Teenagers need someone they can look up to that supports them and wants them to feel happy and some kids don’t have that which is why I think schools in Victoria should start sending newsletters/have parent meetings about how important mental health in teenagers is and that you should check up on your teens.
