What To Expect






Over the course of these past years, difficult though they have been; I have always had an interest in the science, psychology and social aspect of addiction, depression and everything else that falls under the umbrella term of teen angst. 
So in addition to documenting my own personal struggles, I will be writing articles on... 
Self-Harm: the different types of self harm, what to do when a loved on is self harming, hiding scars.
Depression: dealing with depression as a teenager
Emergency Situations: getting help fast, and holding on
Support Systems: finding and keeping a support system that works, the good kind, the bad kind and the poison     kind
Peer Pressure/Social Issues Facing Teens
Abuse: Relationship Dependancy, Abusive Relationships 
Why should you care? Why should you care if you, or another person is self harming/suicidal/being abused. 
 Holding Your Head Above Water: little tips and tricks to help you make it through the day
Being/Aspiring to be Straight Edge
Addiction: The science behind it, the different types ect. ect.
And more...


And just as a reminder, the purpose of this blog is not to be just a collection of reasons why  you should see healthiness as your only option. The purpose of this blog is to give people like myself, struggling through what I did/am, something to relate to. And someone to talk to. 


I will try to keep it as personal as possible (believe me, I have plenty of personal experience) but there will be a lot of hard truths and cold facts.

It's the harshest reality that shakes us out of out deepest comas.
