I posted about feeling low… and the school locked me in a counselor’s room.

I’m 15. Last week, I made a post that said: "I feel so tired. I don’t even know why I try anymore." It wasn’t for attention. I just needed to let it out. The next day, the school called me in. I thought maybe someone wanted to check in. But instead, they told me: 👉 “You’re not allowed to post things like that. It makes the school look bad.” 👉 “You’re spreading negativity.” 👉 “If you do it again, we’ll call your parents and put it on your record.” I sat there in a tiny office while they asked me if I was “safe.” But none of it felt safe. It felt like I was being punished for hurting. No one asked what was going on. No one said, “I’m here for you.” They just wanted me to shut up and smile. Why are teens treated like threats when we’re just asking for help? Why do schools care more about their image than our mental health? #MentalHealthMatters #TeenVoices #HighSchoolLife #SchoolSystemFail #LetKidsSpeak #StopTheSilence #MentalHealthAwareness #ListenToTeens #SupportNotSilence #EducationReform
