I did this because I care for my readers and everyone struggling with their mental health, me included.

Mental health issues are serious and sometimes we need to talk to someone without the fear of our talks being leaked out or our parents finding out if you don't want them to know.

All of these helplines for all kinds of 'problems' you have, if you need to please go to them.

There are many things I found out doing research for this that proves how serious our mental health is:

1. Approximately eight million deaths each year are attributable to mental illness. This “mortality gap” between people with mental disorders and the general population has been increasing since before 1970, researchers say.

~12 Feb 2015

2. Although there is no single cause of suicide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System, estimates that 46% of people who die by suicide had a known mental health condition.

3. Depression is present in at least 50% of all suicides. Those suffering from depression are at 25 times greater risk for suicide than the general population (American Association of Suicidology, 2014). 50-80% of older adults who die by suicide have been shown to have major depression.

4. Depression is a common thread throughout the articles, also known to be the most common disorder among people who die by suicide

5. According to the World Health Organization, people with severe mental health disorders have a 10–25-year reduction in life expectancy. Schizophrenia mortality rates are between 2 and 2.5 times those in the general population, while individuals with depression have a 1.8 times higher risk of premature mortality.

*all of these were taken from different G****e sites

But please for your sake, work on yourself. If it's a toxic relationship work on it, or leave the person.

If it's something to do with assault please report it.

I'm not going to say commit suicide or don't, it's your choice. If it's too much for you, do what feels right. Although personally I am against it.

Recently a boy at my school committed suicide we don't know why, but whatever it is. If he felt like that was the only way out for him, to preserve his mental health and happiness then may he get his wish.

I love you guys, and I hope you took this chapter into mind.
