Dear parents

You could've listened to me when I was 13, you could've taken me to therapy when I told you I thought I was depressed and told you I wanted to kill myself, when I lost 40lbs in less than two months. Now it's getting worse and you're getting mad at me over it. Because even when 13 year olds do talk about their mental problems, parents will say it's hormones, they won't want to believe their children might be sick. Sometimes the problem isn't the 13 year old child who doesn't know enough to speak up and ask for help, sometimes it's the adults who won't listen and then wonder how their baby could've been found hanging by their neck in the room, their eyes lifeless and their arms scarred by your ignorance. Mental illness is not a 'trend' it's not 'pretty' it's not 'cool', it's terrifying, it's a pain that surpasses anything physical and it can happen to anyone, even to your perfect little child. Please listen to your children, talk to them, allow them to get therapy and counselling. Your support may be the one thing that will keep them alive and help them get better.
