Hey Pandas,what Do You Do If You Need Help With Your Mental Health But Are Too Scared To Ask For Help
lately ive been struggling with my mental health, but im scared to bring it up because i dont want to be made fun of. my parents dont help the situation because they dont really understand that the reason i make art is to distract myself from my sadness or struggles, in fact they once said my art "dosent matter". what do i do?

If your parents aren't approachable, I would suggest talking to someone else, like your school welfare coordinator or guidance counsellor or equivalent. They can often help you themselves or refer you to a psychologist and maybe even work on ways to talk to your parents. I had a lot of trouble when I was in year 7 and kept skipping school and the welfare coordinator helped me a lot. Hang in there, things can get better. I hope that one day your parents can understand how you are feeling and support you, but if not I hope you other support systems to help.

This is the best course of action, although be aware that (at least in the US) any school employee is a mandated reporter, so if you tell them about something that is illegal or could put you/someone in harm's way, they are legally obligated to report it. Not sure to who though.

I just draw in my sketchbook, or I read my favourite book series Heartstopper.
