I want to ask you guys a question. When was the last time you checked your phone? Don't worry, I'm not judging, but chances are that was just a few minutes ago. Now, I want you to imagine being a teenager and having that same phone practically glued to your hand. It's not just about checking emails or the news. It's about constant endless scrolling and chasing likes from random strangers on the internet. And it always starts the same way. You always tell yourself, "Just one video, it won't hurt. " One video ...

You're at home and well, it feels hard to breathe. Your vision is blurry and let's just say there's a fog all around you. Now, you look into that fog.You see dark, vague figures circling around you, repeating those same negative instances that you just don't want to hear again for the rest of your life. You can't really ignore it. So, all you do is just sit there in silence and take it in.All this fog obviously isn't real and it's nowhere outside you but inside you. inside this balloon in your head. A ballo ...

Let me start with a question and I want you to really think about it. How many times have you said I'm fine when you are anything but or yes when you want to say no. And let's be real here.We've all done it. Maybe this morning or maybe last night, maybe even a hundred times before that. Hi, I'm Ritika and today I want to talk about something we all do but rarely or even never admit.Hiding how we feel. Bottling it up. Putting on a mask and pretending everything's fine, everything's great when it isn't.Person ...

Good evening everybody. I'm here to talk about stress. Now when we hear the term stress, most of us might think of adult stress like work, bills, responsibilities, and so much more.If you thought of that, just raise your hand. Now, for those of you who didn't raise your hand, you probably saw the title behind me. But for those of you who did, stress starts much earlier, right in the classroom.In fact, surveys show that one in three children suffer from high levels of academic stress, especially during exam ...

Let me ask you something. What do you think a young person could possibly teach you about life. Fair question.I mean, I can't vote. I can't drive. And I'm still not tall enough to reach the top shelf in my kitchen without climbing on the counter.But here's the thing. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I haven't noticed things. Kids watch everything.We hear more than you think and sometimes we understand more than people expect us to. One thing I've been thinking about a lot is this. What happens in childho ...

When I was in year 8, I cried for 10 minutes straight in the girls washroom over a 24 out of 30 in my UAE social studies exam. That day, I found out that I had caught something. Not a cold, not a flu, but something that would be much more difficult to treat.The fear of not being good enough. It started with a small cough of doubt, then soon transpired into me feeling like my whole body was infected with a fear of a fever of anxiety. Soon, every grade became a diagnosis, and I felt as though my grades determ ...

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling like your entire mood changed. Maybe you felt lighter or maybe you felt like something inside you just shut down. That's the power of relationships.Every connection we have with friends, families, partners, even ourselves leaves a mark on our mental health. Some relationships lift us up. Some leave us questioning our width and some we don't even realize are affecting us until much later.We talk a lot about mental health like it's something we manage on o ...
