Paul McGregor is a youtuber and made a video called “SCHOOL MAKES ME DEPRESSED | Why School Doesn't Help Your Mental Health” His description on his profile shows he is dedicated to his mission. He wrote “Suicide is currently the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. – If my mission can make a difference to just ONE person. That's all that matters.” One of the most interesting things I found of this video is that when searching “school makes me” what comes up is feel anxious, depressed, and other negative emotions. You should try it and see what comes up. Like the video said people are relying on technology to find answers to an issue of emotions and school. It makes me wonder why? The video tells examples and his own experience. The comment of the video are quite interesting and extremely sad that many people relate to this.
September is suicide awarness month. Please reach out to loved ones and show that you care. Support friends and be aware of negative affects you may cause.
