This is nothing new. Kids are not the same, just as you and your neighbor or friend are not the same, so stop comparing us. I'll admit it, generations have changed dramatically. I can try to blame technology or media or whatever the case may be, but we are not as strong as you guys were. Our physique and mental capacity are nowhere near strong as yours were. Nowadays you can't simply chase your kid out and tell them to go defend themselves every time they get bullied. Bullying nowadays doesn't just end physically, it follows you on social media. We die in silence because we got nobody to talk to, because we are scared of being judged by our own parents. We not attention seekers, we just need you to get to know us. Know what we go through everyday, at home, school, work. Listen to us, dont judge. Give us motherly/fatherly love and advice. Maybe yes, depression is a White People illness, but have you seen the stats? It's killing us too. SAVE US! Sincerely # DyingInSilence
