bit.ly
Let’s all remember when we were young and foolish, some more than others, so everyone reading this probably has a saucy tale or two to tell from their mischievous teen years. It’s that blooming passion with unbridled hormones running amok that gets teens into some awkward sexual situations. And ...

Our I’m Enough team wants to alert you to an extremely disturbing video that has been posted on TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and other social channels and is quickly becoming widely viewed. imenough.co/image-of-live-suicide-on-multiple-social-channels/
Thank you for your comment below Viona Hohaia. The intention of this post on social media was to align with the messages being sent out by most schools regarding this particular online content. Our focus and hope was to alert parents to this post. Many parents whom we had been in touch with were not aware that this video doing the rounds on multiple social media platforms. In this awareness, we're urging parents to #starttheconversation with their children in relation to what they may see online. If however, there were children who had seen the content, we provided some level of direction as to who they could turn to in order to find support, if this was needed. I do hope that this clarifies our intent. Have a lovely day.
I won't watch something like that either Who knows your agenda I dont Disguise to lure adults too evil
Grateful, what are you grateful for today? Stop and think. You might be in a position in life where you are facing challenges. It is possibly not the life you have dreamt of. Keep positive. Trust and believe that all these challenging moments are preparing you to be strong and grateful enough for when fantastic opportunities present themselves to you. You might be having a bad day today, but trust me, this is just a bad day, not a bad life!
Listening to music that you really like in a mindful way helps you have a better quality of life. It refreshes your mind to get away from the problems of your daily routine. Why not choose a calm place with a nice view? Find some free time for yourself and see how it works for you!
The mental health issues related to lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression and anxiety.

In a Mental Health and Wellbeing report by the Mental Health Foundation, depression statistics show that an increasing number of New Zealanders, teens included, are having to deal with unpleasant feelings or emotions (psychological distress) in their day to day lives. This is impacting their daily lives and how well they are able to function. The report tells us several interesting facts that we should be paying attention to:
🔵In 2012, 5% of our youth were affected by depression and anxiety. Over the next 5 years we saw that number more than double to 11.8%.
🔵It was estimated that in 2017 alone, the number of New Zealand youth experiencing psychological distress increased from 58,000 to 79,000.
🔵In a shocking depression statistic, one in ten young Kiwis actively seeking mental health support is left waiting more than two months to be seen by a professional.
🔵New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rates between the ages of 15-19 in the OECD.

I'm Enough is such a positive phrase! 🙆✨ The more you tell yourself that you are enough, the more your heart and brain will believe it. As simple as that!
It’s time to change the conversation! Imposing barriers to technology generally doesn't prevent cyberbullying.
It's more effective to develop safe online behaviour and to talk with students about how to deal with unpleasant online experiences, than to restrict access or use alarmist arguments.
