Helping Teenagers Overcome Addiction: Resources And Support
Teens can become completely absorbed in whatever makes them happy, be it Taylor Swift, the newest denim trend, or the Marvel Universe. When does a passion for anything become an addiction, though? Adolescents frequently walk a tight line between process addictions (behavioral) and single-minded interests.

Why Men's Mental Health Matters. Content Warning.
The stigma surrounding men's mental health is a pervasive issue that often goes unaddressed. Society has ingrained in men the belief that expressing emotions or seeking help is a sign of weakness, perpetuating a harmful cycle of silence and suffering. This toxic masculinity not only damages men's well-being but also affects their relationships, careers, and overall quality of life.

Ask Inner God
In China, both children and adults have been trying to exceed others in "life competition". For children, they are instructed by teachers to study extremely hard to get admitted into a top-tier school (like municipal junior school, provincial high school, university with the title of “985”, etc.) . Moreover, parents also play a role in pressing them to join extracurricular study classes, with nearly total ignorance of children's real interests. For adults, when attempt to set foot on this dog-eat-dog society, they finally find it difficult to find a satisfactory job, especially in the background of the sluggish economy. A tiny minority of university graduates may get lucky, as they outweigh others in the fierce civil service examination or the interview of some lucrative companies after rounds of selection, and are eligible to get a relatively respectable job. However, Most of the lower-middle class adults have to do with jobs which feature demanding long-time work and low salaries and no social insurance. Since restriction on age exists in many job descriptions, unemployed people over the age of 35 can hardly get a job at all. In a word, competition hangs over common Chinese during their life-span development.

A journey through grief
Grief The fight to heal from grief has been one I’ve trudged through like a soldier entering their last battle. With fear and courage, I take every step through the mud filled with regret, pride, and awe. You lose yourself to grief, and the reward at the end of the journey is supposed to be finding yourself again. Beautiful, isn’t it, the things you find in this search for yourself? That is, until you’ve lost your way in the search for something meaningful.

How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener. But making time has always been difficult, so my solution was to use my social media platform as a writing tool to expand my creative sparkle. I committed to a weekly post on my Instagram account using one of my many photos I kept from random places and using it as a prop to write. Typically, I start brainstorming days ahead as I go over the picture selection and what to write about or I can come up with something creative on the spot and post it right away. This creative process is rewarding as it helps me get out of the mundane, while inspiring others. Although there was a flow in my creativity, it lacked structure and organization.

Ruth Finley: Villainess or Victim?
Kudos, once again, to Lifetime, as they delivered an amazing retelling of a captivating true crime story. This was a story that I knew nothing about until I learned about the movie, and it was a couple of weeks prior to the movie's airdate that I did my homework on Ruth Finley's story, and it's because of what I learned that I was even more excited for this film than I already was. There's another reason, but that will be mentioned later.

A Glaring Omission. Top Story - June 2024.
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
