It's very sad. Adults look down on therapy until it's too late because of the timeline they grew up in. They don't understand why teenagers are cutting themselves or starving, but don't bother to get them the help. Just slap them on the wrist and tell them to 'stop' as if that's helping anyone with ANY addiction.

Honestly, my school took down a mental health zine for 'unverified claims'. Some say it's protecting students, others say it's shutting down peer support. What do you think?

Totally agree with @wendychen, my school did the same thing last year...

Saw a similar case where a school pulled student-made wellness guides over "fact checking" issues. Feels like administrations get so scared of liability that they block useful peer conversations. Where's the line between safety and letting students share real experiences, you know?
