In a report by UNICEF 2021, it was observed that around 13% of adolescents globally are living their lives with mental health. Mental health can ruin your life’s purpose. Even if you are dedicated or ambitious toward your aim, if you are not mentally well, you will not be able to achieve your ambitions.
Lack of peace can be seen in everyone's life, earlier means in the time our parents were even aware of depression and mental health issues. It is good that we are aware of health issues and depression, but still, we are not able to discuss them with our parents or psychiatrist.
But this problem of depression really needs to be discussed with our parents. Sometimes when parents are not able to understand our problems, then you must share the issue with your good friends.
The UNGA has declared 21 September Day as the International Day of Peace, where a person can enjoy the day stress-free for at least 24 hours. A day which they could spend without any tension. They would create a world without violence. A world without racism.
