Youth Suffers
Suffering is not an easy thing we've been facing. Sometimes it affects our life especially our mental health. But why is it still happening? How do I stop this as a youth? Mostly youths are those victim of suffering in many different aspects like family, school, finances and the way we get to socialize with other people. Like example in school, some youth suffered from bullying they've been bullied because of their physical and mental appearance. It causes them depression, but how do we stop it?
We have to help those persons who are bully. Why them? Because those youths who bullies suffered also and experienced the same thing in their family. In this case, we have to help also those who have been bullied so they can survive the depression they've been suffering. It's hard to stop it but to motivate them and giving them advice it means a lot them. why am I focusing on the youth? According to our study at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish in Bicutan, Taguig , during junior high , about those youths who suffer from depression there's a 10,000 youths suffer through depression and it causes half of them to commit suicide at the young age.
No one can stop it but in a little way we can help those youths from suffering. Another thing we do is to help them to open their hearts and faith for God to show to them the importance of his word. I asked a youth if he can stop suffering then he answered me that yes he can if we just keep on looking at the brighter side and realize that we have to face this reality because we all know that God gave this to us to challenge our strength. We have to be true to ourselves because we can't fool who we really are and accept the fact that our life is like a story that it will never be complete without an antagonist to its climax.
Furthermore, lot of people still facing this thing even me. I suffered but still helped myself to get through it. According to Dr. Robert Puff, a license psychologist, “Shifting from wants to preferences will lead to less suffering and more happiness. When you are content with what you have, and when you have it, you no longer succumb to external circumstances that must be fulfilled. You take control of happiness and allow it to blossom inside you no matter what circumstances arise around you.” Therefore, we must be contented of what we have and fulfill our dreams in our own way without thinking those people who let us down. Let's just show to them who we really are and if God has a plan for us, we must face it wholeheartedly without the negative thoughts inside our minds. If we will continue doing those things without any doubts in our hearts, our suffering can be stop. Not today but in God's perfect timing.
There's is one thing I've learned and realize that emotions are temporary we are the one who's controlling it not the emotions will control us. Everything is temporary we must know how to fix it and knows the importance of life that God has given to us.
come alive ! no matter what happened just trust the LORD.
