Hello, Susan! Mental health and depression is something we need to discuss more. If kids and teens can get help when they're young, they'll be more prepared and confident to deal with everything as adults.
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Hi, Susan,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with Laura. Parents need to be AWARE. Understanding their children's personalities and KNOW when something is just not right.
Children and teen have so much more to deal with than we did as kids. The world is not a safe place any more and the world's vibe seems to be spiraling downward.
Such emotional lyrics.
I love Green Day so I like this choice! I had a bad feeling the lyrics were describing me as I read them though. Mind on overdrive sounds about right!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to see teens with these disorders. Good to know that God can heal all wounds! Happy A to Z!

It's easy to dismiss the symptoms of MD with teens; they're often moody and in some kind of turmoil. It really does require parents pay attention and get help if they think those symptoms are more than normal. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough issue that many face.
ReplyDeleteI love Green Day.
