SUBMISSION NO.2

I think a very well known issue is depression, and most people have a very surface-level understanding, which is great. It could be better but it’s better than being oblivious.

 

However, I think self-harm and addiction are still pushed aside and stigmatized. No one understands how to respond properly when someone tells them they are hurting themselves. It’s a very important topic that is shoved under the rug, even though almost 20% of kids in middle and high school have experienced it.
