In today’s society, addressing the mental health crisis is more critical than ever. With the rise of technology and social media, taking care of our well-being is important. I had experience dealing with an issue I’ve been struggling with since my freshman year. I was sexually assaulted and I had no clue what to do; just like all those speeches about bullying, I told a trusted adult, my mom: but she did nothing. So a year later I tried something different; I told another trusted adult and they tried to help, but they included my mom. I got a therapist and she helped me understand how to approach my situation and comforted me throughout our sessions, but my mom thought that I might be pressured to say things during my sessions as a way to get me to confess to something that never happened: but they did. When I knew what happened to me was wrong and that I shouldn’t stay quiet, my mom told me to stop seeing my therapist. During every session, I felt aware of everything that was happening to me, but there were no words to describe how I was feeling during that time. Now, in my Senior Year at Damien, I’m taking a class that has helped me understand our natural human behaviors. I’ve studied topics that explain different reasons that affect things like: why people gamble, how people believe their opinion is superior, and how people develop their personality. This class is what I want to major in when I go to college, and hopefully, I can pursue my future field and career through my experiences—Psychology.
