It's okay to ask for help

It can be scary and confusing to experience mental health symptoms, especially as a teen or a young adult. Understand that having a mental health condition isn't your or your family's fault. Mental health conditions are actually common among teens and young adults. Did you know that 50% of all lifetime mental illnesses develop by age 14 and 75% develop by age 24. That’s why telling your parent, school counselor, teacher, or another trusted adult is so important... and a sign of strength. It can be hard to know what to say. Practice and maybe start with something like, “I’m not feeling right and I think I may need some help or someone to talk to.” The sooner you do, the better.
