Why do my teachers seem to not care about mental health and who can i talk ti about my mental health
Hey - thanks for asking luna 💛
It's really important to remember that teachers are humans too – they may not be able to show that they care about your mental health or they may not be showing this in the way you want, but that doesn't mean they don't.
That being said, if you're struggling with your mental health, it's important to talk to someone about it. You could try talking to a trusted adult, like a parent, school counsellor or another teacher, or you could try talking to a friend. If you don't feel comfortable talking to someone you know, you could try talking to a helpline – useful numbers are Shout Crisis Text Line (text "SHOUT" to 85258), and Mind who are a mental health charity who can be called for free on 0300 123 3393 ❤️
Remember, you're not alone, and there are people out there who want to help you. You deserve to be happy and healthy, and there's nothing wrong with asking for help.
Take care of yourself, and don't be afraid to reach out if you need to. You're stronger than you think, and you can get through this. 💛
