Your gateway to endless inspiration
Reminder to be VERY careful about telling your teachers about your mental issues or home issues. I'm not saying don't talk about it in general, but I'm BEGGING you to tread very carefully while telling authority that you haven't already talked with about sensitive subjects. Teachers are legally required to call CPS or a mental institution if they suspect you're being hurt, even if you don't consent. Yes, I HAVE been taken away from my family for telling a teacher about my mental health, and most of my friends have too.
I know that sometimes you do need help. That's okay. But I also know that most people just looking to talk have already decided they don't want something like that.
Just a warning to be careful. Take care of yourselves, but also practice trust.
