Life is Beautiful ∶')

Did you know that in some cases, watching television might actually be good for you? Yes, it is filled with programs that bombard us with unhealthy messages and stereotypes. And yes, there’s no denying that these messages can have a negative impact on our thoughts, attitudes and choices. (If you’ve read any of my previous articles, you will have noticed that I’ve raised caution about media use).But, you may be surprised to find that at the same time, TV watching actually has the potential to do these three things:

• Know the signs of mental illness.These include∶
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • excessive tiredness
  • weight gain or loss
  • out-of-character personality changes
• Pay attention to your moods and feelings. Don't assume your negative thoughts or feelings are just part of being a teenager. If you're worried about something, ask for help. Everyone wants to help you. So, please do not ever hesitate to ask for help.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.If you can't talk to your parents, talk to a favorite teacher or counselor at school. Find an adult you can trust. If you're feeling really sad or are thinking about harming yourself, get help right away.
• Accept yourself.If you feel like you have low self-esteem or a poor body image, talk to someone about it. Even just talking to a friend can help. Everyone is different and unique.And that uniquness makes you special from anyone else in the world. You are special.
• Respect the others.Even though you have nothing to give someone, remember you have mounth and body. You can always give nice compliments to your friends. This might be the world's best gifts to someone. So, please do not hesitate to help others and it will help you feel better too.
