Yes!! My 15 yr old daughter had lots of mental health struggles that started at 10 yrs old. Im glad I listened and got her help asap bc it got much worse and as it did she had a support team every step of the way. Now she’s doing really well for the first time *knock on wood* there’s nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about if your kids are struggling and us parents gets tons of bs advice- don’t listen to anything that isn’t helpful. No you can’t spank or ground the mental health out of your kids, no they aren’t just spoiled etc. hugs and love to parents and others who are struggling ❤️

@thetruth4025 2 года назад

In a RU-vid short he said that Uncle Bob was a white cop. The only reason I'm bringing this up is because so many people have been accusing them as racist. This goes to show that some are not. Although I am not white, but I have met some really cool cops and yes some of them happened be white. So don't judge them all based on the actions of a few.

@SwapPartLLC Год назад

You can apply that to all people, not just whites, not just cops. Some people are racist. Some are white, some are black, some are Asian, some are Hispanic, some are Democrats, some are Republicans. Anyone can be racist. It isn't confined to a specific group of people. But that said, I think most people are good.

@dmtdreamz7706 Год назад

I suddenly dreamt that I picked up the revolver and aimed it straight at my heart--my heart, and not my head; and I had determined beforehand to fire at my head, at my right temple. After aiming at my chest I waited a second or two, and suddenly my candle, my table, and the wall in front of me began moving and heaving. I made haste to pull the trigger. In dreams you sometimes fall from a height, or are stabbed, or beaten, but you never feel pain unless, perhaps, you really bruise yourself against the bedstead, then you feel pain and almost always wake up from it. It was the same in my dream. I did not feel any pain, but it seemed as though with my shot everything within me was shaken and everything was suddenly dimmed, and it grew horribly black around me.

@ZPerpetua 10 месяцев назад

He was 12. Kids aren’t rational. Kids are impulsive and if there is dysfunction surrounding them then it’s even worse. Kids don’t perceive consequences like adults (most adults anyway). My family works in pediatric mental health, you see it all the time. The more dysfunctional the home life, the more these kinds of situations crop up, they don’t think “It’s not worth my life just to spite anyone, my career aspirations aren’t worth my life.” They think “I’m going to make you pay for causing me harm by causing YOU the worst kind of damage- unresolvable guilt.” But they aren’t thinking the real consequence of that, they just want you to hurt. It’s childish, but, he was a child in a dysfunctional family.

I think he accidentally shot himself and to not look like a lame ass he said he tried to comit suicide 😂 Cause go look at the suicide rate 12 has the smallest rate cause you don't even understand emotions yet. 15 and up is when you start to become more emotional about feeling left out, no accepted, issues with friends and family, relationships.
