When Young Ask us tricky mental health questions, we may not know how to answer them all. Here are some examples of difficult questions we were asked with examples of answers. Hopefully, the next time a guy asks us something similar, we’ll have a head start on thinking of an answer.

Why can’t I be like [name]? They are very happy and popular, not like me.
Each of us is unique! We may look alike to other people sometimes (we can have identical twins (or triplets!)) but no one is ever identical to anyone else.
Many of us have things that we think about that we feel that other people don’t know about. We never know what’s going on in another person’s head or life. There may be a lot of difficult things happening to them at home, or they may have a disagreement with their best friend over the weekend, or they may pretend to be happy but feel sad or lonely inside. We may wish we were more like [name]but they can look at us and wish they were more like us!
We are just as awesome as we are, with unique skills, talents and passion. If we were all the same, it would be very boring – so instead of trying to be like someone else, it might be more useful to look at how we can We build our confidence in being ourselves.

nothing at all. Our feelings are not based on what we “deserve”. Bad feelings can affect us whether we are four or forty years old, from England or Japan, have blonde or brown hair, or live in a house or castle. We don’t always feel bad feelings because we did something bad. Hard things don’t always happen because we did something wrong. Sometimes things just happen, and there’s no reason for that.
Why does no one understand me?
It can be feeling bad very lonely thing. Sometimes it can feel like no one understands and no one feels what we feel. But others have felt and what we feel; They may hide it, or only tell their closest friends about it. We’re definitely not the only ones who feel this way.

If one idea doesn’t work, we try another, and keep trying until we find things that work for us.
When will I feel better? When will you go away?
Unfortunately, mental ill health is not the same as catching a cold or the flu. We can’t predict when we will feel better because everyone is different and different things help different people. Sometimes we have to try a few different ideas before we find something that helps us.
We’ll feel better at some point. Bad feelings don’t last forever. Life can be full of many different thoughts and feelings, and not all of them are nice. But no matter how bad our feelings are, no matter how horrible we feel, no matter how much they make us cry, they will always pass in time.
The waves get bigger and bigger before they land. It can rain and fall for hours on end before the sun rises. It can make us feel really terrible and bad and make us cry or want to hit our pillow, but eventually, it will pass, we will feel calmer, and life will feel brighter.
