Let's get real.
✅ Mental illness isn't always connected to current circumstances
✅ Depression isn’t about being lazy—it’s a serious mental health condition that affects your ability to function, not
your motivation
✅ Most people do not pretend to have a mental illness for attention
✅ Mental illness is only a part of who you are. With the right tools, you can learn to manage and succeed at anything you want to do
There are resources to learn about mental health and get peer support. Visit Teens4TeensHelp.org for real stories from reel teens 💙
