Chapter 31 Adolescents & Depression



[#1. A survey found that over 30% of teenagers exhibit varying degrees of depressive symptoms, 50% of those with depression are students, and 41% have taken a leave of absence from school due to depression. The mental and physical health of teenagers is a pressing issue!]

[#2. I'm sorry for being born – The Crime]

[#3. Psychology experts point out that Wen He's sudden popularity is not accidental; it reflects the high-pressure environment of today's society, which resonates with listeners, showing that every group is under immense pressure to varying degrees!]

After the release of Wen He's song "Sin", its extremely strong emotional appeal made listeners break down their defenses.

Wen He occupied eight of the top ten trending topics, and dominated the top three spots with an almost overwhelming presence.

Even the government has issued a statement urging attention to the mental health of teenagers.

An extremely sensitive topic and group of people were laid bare before everyone's eyes by Wen He without any warning.

Teenagers, and depression.

Often, people deliberately avoid discussing this topic.

Because there will always be someone who says...

—What does a kid know? Everyone goes through this. You're just being dramatic.

When I was a kid, my dad almost broke my legs by hanging me up, but I'm fine now, aren't I?

—Kids these days are getting worse with each generation; you can't hit them or scold them.

—Back in our day, people your age were digging pig feed, and we could only eat meat during the New Year. We didn't have the good conditions you have now, with no worries about food and drink, and high-tech equipment like computers and mobile phones.

There's no denying that life is getting better and better these days.

People no longer have to worry about food, drink, and sanitation.

But this doesn't mean that people only need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

Whether in real life or online, as long as people know you are a minor, you will inevitably face contempt, indifference, and even more excessive ridicule and humiliation.

People with depression are also a special group who are mocked in the same way.

When these two things occur in the same person...

Instead of concern and warmth, they often receive ridicule.

—Identified as: The humorous fantasy of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

—So, when depression reaches its extreme, one becomes corrupted, right? Cut off your allowance and you'll behave.

—A classic case of childhood depression, fully categorized.

—Run! My other personality is about to emerge!

I am fully aware that my mental state is very abnormal. I am perfectly fine during the day, but at night I suddenly have suicidal thoughts without any warning.

It felt like something was pulling me down. I struggled desperately, tears streaming down my face. I was terrified; I didn't want to die, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking about death.

I dare not tell anyone about this. I have tentatively mentioned it to relatives and friends...

I still remember what they said very clearly.

"Depression? What a load of rubbish! I think you're just living too comfortably."

"People are going to die? Is it that easy to die? We died long ago when we couldn't even get enough to eat!"

"YuYu Syndrome? Hahaha, I know that. Do you have it too? You always seem so carefree and cheerful, you don't look like you have it."

Countless people have sent out distress signals to the outside world, but the vast majority of them have not been saved in the end.

Outsiders mocked him, and those around him didn't understand.

It's like a drowning person falling into a vast ocean.

They didn't want to die either; they were struggling to survive.

But...

But no one noticed that he had drowned.

Everyone thought he was playing in the water.

When he could no longer hold on and sank, people realized the seriousness of the problem.

But often by then, it's too late...

These kinds of tragedies happen many times every year.

There are many people suffering from depression.

Most of the time they are just like normal people.

She'll happily hog the microphone at karaoke, act silly and goofy in front of classmates and friends, and cheer with joy when she eats something delicious.

Once they are all alone and their disguise is removed, the surging waves will sweep them into the sea.

The vibrant world can suddenly dim, and one can lose all interest in anything.

Like a robot whose batteries have been removed, it can only sit there idly.

"Thank you Wen He for this song, which finally made my parents pay attention to my mental health issues."

"I was diagnosed with moderate depression at the hospital today. My mom cried a lot because she's afraid I might do something rash and leave them."

“My dad wants to take me to my favorite amusement park, but I’m not interested in those rides anymore.”

"I will try my best to receive treatment. I can't bear to leave this world, and I can't bear to leave my loving parents."

…………

"My parents, who have always been very strict with my studies, suddenly said to me today..."

"Grades aren't important. We've suffered too much already, and we don't want you to suffer the same way later. But if the academic pressure is too much, we'll stop you from studying. Your parents just want you to be well."

"Upon hearing those words, I burst into tears and hugged them for a long, long time. The immense pressure that felt like a mountain suddenly eased away."

"I will still study hard. I don't want to let them down. But unlike before, this time I'm not afraid of failure."

…………

“Three years ago, because I talked back, my dad slapped me in front of my classmates. Since then, I haven’t spoken a word to him. I’ve hated him for three whole years.”
