Topics
Bullying
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
By Desmond Tutu
Racism
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
By Martin Luther King Jr.
Suicide
"Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves."
By Gerard Way
Stigma around depression and mental illness
For far too long, individuals with mental illnesses have faced the heavy burden of stigma. This stigma is often rooted in harmful misconceptions and stereotypes. Many people erroneously believe that those struggling with mental health issues are unable to navigate everyday life. In numerous households, conditions like depression are seen as a source of shame rather than a health issue that deserves compassion and understanding. It's time to change this narrative and challenge these misconceptions head-on. We must recognize that these beliefs are not only incorrect but also harmful, and together we can create a more supportive and informed community.
