Pablo Analytical Coursework: “Young and Gifted”

Depression

 

Sometimes we are good at hiding our emotions, but sometimes we get too good at it and what we don’t realise is that this is actually harming us, How ?. Well we aren’t letting anyone help us or letting anyone notice if we are in pain or not. Unfortunately  hiding your emotions starts to become your second nature and then we suddenly have no control over it and we wouldn’t know if we are hiding our emotions or not .

 

This relates to many people but something else that would somehow relate  to someone would be the fact that those people that are in pain that are hiding their emotions from us tend to be our friends and our own family sometimes, and we probably wouldn’t know until something tragic happens and thats when we would realise that that person was in pain and was actually going through something alone. I used to be that person that wouldn’t realize that my friends were going through something really bad or they would be depressed, that was until  one of my own friends tried committing suicide. Fortunately they weren’t able to find what they were looking for which was death but i started to simply observe their attitudes about life and what they truly thought of everyone and everything obviously we all have different opinions on different things but we can all realize when something bad has started happening and how they react towards certain things and when theres a sudden change.

 

Depression: This is a really big factor on someone having the desire to end their life and as I said it all starts with depression, they start feeling empty, they feel no love or care or fear and all these feelings are crucial in someone life, because if you don’t love your family or care about them or care about your family somehow or even just about yourself then you wouldn’t truly have the desire to actually end your life but not having this love and care would be a motivation towards that decision.If this feeling isn’t stopped at the root and it isn’t actually taken out then it could take control over your life and influence what you do and when you do it, it would also influence your actions, and this is what happens to many people and their lives, we have to understand that we have to be compassionate towards them because this feeling can occur in a teenager who could have lost their parents, lost someone that they really cared about also  it could occur in an adults life and sometimes it could affect them much more as they could have left one of their children and also someone that was really close to them. All of these things lead to depression but unfortunately there are some people that think that its an everyday joke. It really is’nt. We fail to understand what another person feels and when we suddenly notice we would try and think back when it might have started. Another way that depression could start getting involved in someones life would be when they start getting pushed away by those people that they most cared about, those people that they thought would always be there for them, and then because of this they start feeling like an outcast and they feel anti social towards everyone. Many times we hear the excuse of “Its just a phase” is it ? is it going to be just a phase when it could be his last moments here with us, we don’t take these things into account.

True friends: Who do we choose as our true friends, who do we call best friend, close friend or even brother/sister, as we are teenagers we have the tendency
