Purpose: To stop it

Topic: Depression

Audience: Everyone

Have you ever been lying down watching tv and this ad came on? “Have you been feeling down,feeling you would be better dead than alive take the test at depression.org.nz.” I cerntley have seen it and we depression need  to stop now.

Out of curiosity I took the test I got 21 out of 27. I am

completely shocked I went to tell my mum immediately. A few months later I got 24 out of 27. I was horrified. I was starting to think those scary thoughts.The year before that i had tried to kill myself because my parents had split, people were dying and i had to move. It was definitely a hard time. Not just for me but for my family and friends.

When you ask people like me how they are feeling they  will probably respond with fine, f= feeling i= I’m n= nothing to e= everyone. Feeling im nothing to everyone. I was curious and searched up depression on images, found out sometimes fine is not what it seems. 1 million  people die a year from committing suicide. This should end now. All the suffering people have been through is not what should be happening. We need to put smiles back on  people's  faces.

People need our

help.We can save the 1 million people who die a year. We need to stop this now. They need better Health, Help and lives. Depression is a illness. And if you if you have it you feel like nothing all the time it's not sadness or anger it's  a illness. A terrifying illness which affects good people. If we let those 1 million people die each year we will be extinct. We are the only things that can solve this. Now go help people live their lives with joy.  That's all that they need to have the courage to stay alive.
