          Depression is the most current issue that we faced in today's generation. In the Philippines, most people that have gone through this are teenagers. Depression is a mental illness and therefore, it shouldn't be taken as a joke. We all see smiling faces everywhere but we don't know their struggles inside. People who suffers from this experience different kinds of symptoms like anxiety that can lead to suffering. Worst case scenario, it can lead to suicide. So, instead of judging someone based on their physical appearance, why don't we be nice to them? We may never know that we can save someone's life.

So here are the process on how to deal with a depressed friend...

1. Be sensitive- Always be sensitive enough in comforting a friend and always be careful to the word that you'll say to your friend.

2. Show your friend how his/her existence is important- Tell your friend about how important life is and that he/she matters. And always remind your friend that life is beautiful and you just have to find your purpose to have a meaningful life.

3. Always be a "one call away" friend- Be a friend that you can always count on every time a friend needs you. Don't hesitate to help and always be a good listener so that your friend will trust you and so that your friend can feel safed.

4. Tell your friend that he/she can conquer this- Always remind your friend that he/she can overcome his/her problem and that God is always there to guide us.

      According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is the most common illness worldwide and the leading cause of disability. They estimate that 350 million people are affected by depression, globally. 
     There are a lots of treatment on depressions like having a therapy but one thing's for sure that can help you get through this is yourself and sometimes, you just have to be with a positive friend that helps you. You just have to find the will to stand up again and continue to go on in life.

    We can't control someone's feelings but these steps on dealing a depressed friend should be followed because it serves as a guide to save a life or so that you're friend would feel relieve on what she/he's feeling. Each lives counts, so instead of judging someone why don't we help them? We must be a superhero of our own and to also spread awareness about this.

NAPAPANAHONG ISYU: TEENAGE PREGNANCY

Image
  Ang pagbubuntis ng mga kabataan o kilala bilang “Teenage Pregnancy” ay kabilang sa mga napapanahong isyu sa ating mundong hinaharap. Ang isyung ito ay lumaganap sa iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa. Ngayon, hinaharap natin ang masakit na katotohanan na karamihan sa aking kapwa kabataan ay may sariling ng mga anak. Sa Pilipinas, lumaki ang porsyento ng 8% noong 2003 hanggang 10% noong 2013 ang mga bilang ng mga kababaihan na may edad 15-19, ayon sa 2013 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) at ang 2013 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (YAFS). Ito ay seryosong problema na dapat pagtuonan ng pansin dahil hindi biro ang magpapalaki ng isang tao sa murang edad.   Ang pagtaas ng teenage pregnancy rate ay nag-ambag ng krisis sa populasyon ng bansa. At ito rin ang dahilan ng paghinto ng pag-aaral sa mga kabataan at karamihan sa kanila ay umaasa lang sa kanilang mga magulang dahil walang trabaho kaya mas lumaganap ang kahirapan dito sa bansa. Ang kuryosidad ng isang kabat

  1.        Para sa iyo, ano ang kahalagahan ng buhay? -           Ang buhay ay isang regalo sa ating Panginoon kaya hindi dapat ito sinasayang. Naniniwala ako na bawat tao ay may kanya-kanyang paliwanag sa kung ano ang kahalagan ng buhay. Para sa akin, ang kahalagahan nito ay ang pagkaroon ng pagkakataon na mabuhay ng lubos. Ang buhay ay hindi palaging perpekto at minsan meron din tayong mga pagkakamali pero ang importante ay matuto tayo at maging masaya na walang sinasaktang ibang tao. 2.        Ano kaya ang iyong purpose sa mundong ito? -           Lahat tayo ay may natatanging purpose sa mundong ito. Hindi ako sigurado kung ano ang aking purpose sa kinabukasan basta ang alam ko lang ay gusto ko magpapasaya at maging magandang impluwensya sa ibang tao.  3.        Para kanino ka nabubuhay? -           Nabubuhay ako para sa aking sarili, pamilya at sa Panginoon. Sila ang nagbigay sa aking ng pagkakataong mabuhay at nagpakita sa akin sa totoong kahulugan ng buhay. Sila ang nagb
