Teenagers are often faced with negative thoughts. These thoughts totally engulf a teenager’s mind which impacts them in some of the worst ways possible. It’s hard to talk about emotions for a plethora of reasons; not understanding them, not wanting to appear weak, and not wanting to bother others. Reassurance, safe spaces, and support are what teenagers need to better their mental health. They should know that they always have help and asking for it will bother no one.
