Unfortunately we live in a world that revolves around conformity, we are fed what we should and shouldn’t look like, how we should think, and how we should conduct ourselves. Falling outside the template that’s been set out for us can have massive consequences on our mental health. I would argue that the many, not all, of the struggles with anxiety, self-harm, depression, and suicidal ideation is a result of societal conditions placed on us. This is especially true for our youth.
