CHILD ABUSE

Even children are subjected to depression yet they are believed to be alright. The main problem could be because in Asian families, we don't really listen carefully and talk to each other affectively. It's always about "She seems fine." Parents surely tell their children to share problems with them but they aren't really available, they don't affectively help children cope with their problems. Often bcecause of stress and other things parents tell children things that shouldn't be said and some parents don't apologise, they expect children to talk, share but they behave the opposite with their children and that makes their child emotionally detach from their parents and they feel it's better if they don't share it with their parents or the reason might often be "Mom is already stressed/She might scold me." and many other reasons. Many people don't pay attention to "Mental Health". I think that many parents are unaware of the battles their children are fighting. I know it may seem like I am pushing it all on parents but that's just my experience.  There are many more factors that trigger depression, such as body shaming, violating, bullying and many more things. Children hide it because they fear that the others will do the same. It's a very huge topic. Depression in children is more or less of fear and guilt. The fear of the result. My prospective is that its Important we give people time, we give them space to become who they want to be. People are quick to judge and by people I mean everyone, In families, We often don't talk about these things and that leads us to hide what we're going through.
