Many people go through life
hiding their problems and feelings from others. It is normal to
go through times when life seems overwhelming and discouraging.
It is not OK for youth to try and handle these situations on
their own. When youth can't see anything but darkness
ahead, talking to someone can help them realize that they do
have choices... no matter how powerless they may
feel.
