Depression Diary Entry

Here is another insight into my diary. This time it is about how depression is hardly ever mentioned as a main topic in important conversations.

Today at school was a drop down day. We learnt about Weapons, Completing a CV, First Aid, Sex Education and about refugees. These things are important but there is one subject that we still haven't touched on,
Depression and Suicide.
We are taught about drugs and alcohol and that they are bad for us. Depression is bad for you too. It turns your thoughts into pleas for help, and your dreams into nightmares. We are taught about out careers and how we should plan for the future but what is the point if we kill ourselves before we can have a future. People are unaware of things like depression and suicidal tendencies. We should make it more known so that people with it can feel like others finally understand a bit more of what they go through. What is the point of learning about out futures if we don't intend to live that long?

The Couple On The Bike Diary Entry

This is an entry from my diary. My diary is hardly ever wrote in but if something happens that makes me feel passionate or strongly about something then I will write in it. Here is an insight to my diary.

19/10/2015

Today I saw a blonde haired boy riding his bike from school. His girlfriend was sat on the handlebars and leaning back into his chest. She tilted her head back and he leaned forward and kissed her. It was almost unusual to see because in a world like ours, romance is usually deemed dead. I saw it not as an act of PDA or one of those popular couples showing off. I didn't know who they were, only that they were about my age. I saw it as an act of romance in a world were romance has been long forgotten and maybe even our children won't know about. I wish that instead of people my age going to their boyfriend's house and doing things that they shouldn't be doing at that age, to instead go on a walk together, cuddle on the sofa and watch TV and not have to be having a date known as 'Netflix and Chill'. At our age and time romance should not be lost.
