Quick PSA

Hey bunblrs,

Sorry for the post, unrelated to the content you are all here for. I just wanted to get something off my chest.

There is a mental health crisis among young people today. We suffer from anxiety and depression, and many of us have felt, do, or may feel suicidal at some point in our lives. Please, please, do not add to other peoples’ potential low self-esteem. You never know what someone is going through. You don’t know how low they may feel. Society seems to have taught us that other people are disposable. Far too often, I see someone seeking advice on how to approach a toxic friend, and the response is always the same - “just drop them.” I have never liked this attitude. Yes, you may have a toxic friend in your life. I certainly have. Cutting them from your life may seem like the easiest solution, or the least messy. But it’s not nice. It’s a mean thing to do. Everyone deserves an explanation as to why they are being ignored, why their messages aren’t being responded to, why you don’t want to see them anymore.

I have had this done to me far too many times in my short life. I’ve had friends I’ve known since I was a toddler drop me when we were teenagers. I’ve had acquaintances ignore my messages. You name it, it’s happened to me. As a result, I suffer from extreme anxiety, low self-esteem and self-worth, and have been in and out of counselling for my depression for several years now. 

Recently, this has happened to me again. I thought everything was fine, had plans to spend time with a new friend. And now, nothing. I’m not even worth a text, in this person’s eyes. It’s not a nice feeling.

Please, bunblrs, treat people kindly. Don’t ghost someone because they aren’t convenient to you anymore. Everyone deserves an explanation.

Please share this. Reblog. Show friends and family. And know you’re not alone, there’s always someone there to listen. X

ANOTHER DESPICABLE PIG BITES THE DUST...

Maine Republican Governor Paul LePage vetoed a bill on Friday that would have banned conversion therapy

A 2018 UCLA study estimated that more than 75,000 LGBT youth will receive conversion therapy from licensed professionals, religious leaders or spiritual advisers before they turn 18 in the states that do not ban the practice.
