Every night when I go to bed and think of all the people who turned to be bad because they grew up without any love or warmth from Guardians or parents. It's hard to see good in a world where you were only exposed to bad and only ever saw the negatives. I think in as much as we target social problems we some how forget to preach emotional well fare because we're focused on eradicating hunger and poverty not to say those aren't important causes they truly are. Imagine how the world would be if we didn't have emotionally broken individuals, emotions stay with us throughout a life time and emotional trauma's we experienced as kinds shape our personality. I like to speak about Africa because that's where I'm from. In Africa mental health isn't taken as serious and people's emotions, children most of the time are not truly considered. We are raised in total dictatorship from our parents and hardly ever voice out opinions. We're too scared to share experiences with them about being bullied and picked on. We just push it at the back of our minds, not knowing that those experiences will shape us. I could go on and on but all in all change starts here and we have the capacity to change our future and give the future generations the emotional support we never had
