I feel like there wouldn't be as many mentally ill adults if people treated mentally ill teens properly

When I was a teenager, adults would brush aside clear mental illness by saying 'it's just teenage angst', and I feel like quite a lot of people will relate. The majority of people just refuse to believe teens can be mentally ill, like how the media labels obvious attempts as 'tiktok trends'. If society actually adressed and put supports in for mentally ill kids, I feel like more people would recover before they get to far down the hole.

As I got older, I began to understand my issues better. And realized how fucking fucked my brain is lol. It would've been nice to fix this a lot earlier.

this post quite possibly sums up why majority of us are here. I truly wish the rest of the world was half as compassionate as the average person here. the world would be so much better. ah, we can dream. love and peace, mate<3

Well obviously, but when we were teens we just need to "grow out of it". Like yeah if I had been treated sooner I would have turned out much better than I am now. All humans no matter their age, race, gender, or anything else should be allowed to ask for help, and not be told their problem doesn't exist. All of us on this planet should show our fellow humans, compassion, empathy, and unconditional love for eachother; For that is progress, to distinguish ourselves from the animals we claim to be different from. Only through this can we make this world a better place.
