My Brains Not Broken

MARCH 1, 2022

Recently, I came to terms with the fact that I’ve been experiencing a tricky bout of depression for the past month or so. It wasn’t easy to spot, and even though I’ve lived with depression for almost a third of my life, I couldn’t recognize it for a long time. However, it took putting some dots together (and a very patient partner who gives as much support as she can) for me to realize I was living under a fog of depression.

Some flea at a young age, teenagers, not yet fully formed, not yet adults. Not yet with all supports in place. They are at tremendous risk even when once fled. Mere survival, let alone exploitation challenge them. They seek to find their way.

Getting through to your teen about the consequences of doing drugs can be an uphill battle. That’s often because teens typically draw from their own experience and that experience is both limited and biased… all beyond their awareness. To add, they can gather all kinds of other biased information to suit their views from the Internet. So you are not just trying to take on your teen, but through them, their like-minded peers and the limitless supply of Internet junk science.

That was the warning from Action for Children, after research it carried out found a quarter of children who did not receive early help following a closed child-in-need assessment were referred back to local authorities within 12 months, from 2015-16 to 2019-20.
