Too young to stress?

Popularity

This is the 55th most popular campaign

Coming up through the teenage years can get pretty stressful, yet i don't think adults believe some of the stresses we go under and how it can get on top of us so much, despite them once being at this stage theirselves. Getting too the age of 14 i found myself not being my happy laid back self anymore, i found myself slowly but surely sinking into a deep depression. After going to the doctors, talking to people at school countless times over a year i finally got abit of help, but it wasnt enough, getting worse by the day it was effecting my school work and GCSE's badly and i finally got referred too see a pshyciatrist and the help it needed, by then it was abit too late. I believe there needs to be more awareness of child mental health problems and more help for young people suffering.
