At some point in life, many people develop a mental problem. While most people get over it, for others, it doesn't go away easily.
The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. The number of teenagers with mental illness around the world has increased by half by 2020. It becomes one of the main causes of illness, and even death.
In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.
The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.
A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying . In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.
Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever."
"My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.
What Is a Good Friend Like? | |
Cindy | I think a good friend should be honest(诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a friend isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust. |
Jenny | I think a good friend has to be generous(慷慨的). Being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. |
Mary | In my eyes, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he can put himself in his friends' place and think more for his friends. |
