Hey bloggers,
When first brainstorming our project, may different thoughts came across our groups mind. Topics such as sports, school stress, and video games crossed our mind. However, this topic specifically, of a kid who is suffering in silence, felt the most fitting for many reasons. Mental health is a huge topic in todays world, and encouraging people to get the help they need has been at an all time high. Messages like these are spread over all forms of social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok etc. On the dark side, we see people who would rather suffer silently...
As boys growing up, we all agreed (our group) that we have been taught that crying shows moments of weakness of vulnerability. However, now that we have gotten older, we have learned that it's okay to sometimes show emotion. Humans are meant show emotion, as it is a natural part of human life, whether someone is a female or male. Venting how you feel about your feelings about someone or a certain situation is extremely beneficial. You get the opportunity to get things off your chest, and who doesn't like to do that? Me personally, when I feel something isn't right or my gut feeling is telling me something isn't right, I always address the situation.
However, sadly, most men would rather keep it to themselves. They would rather cut deeper scars within themselves without addressing a particular problem until it gets too much to handle. That's why you see in our scene at the pool that our main character tells our background character that he has been doing well. While deep down inside he is suffering. It's okay to cry. It's okay to let out your emotions when you feel it's needed. Talk to someone when you are going through a tough period in time. Never suffer in silence.
