While sadness and depression may have similar symptoms, they are very different. When opening up about our feelings with loved ones, it’s important to use the correct words to accurately and truthfully express ourselves and help us understand what we are going through.

Your life matters.

[Teen Line @TEENLINEONLINE]

Sometimes we just need to talk to a stranger who understands what we're going through. That’s what calling Teen Line is like! ☎️ When talking to our Teen Volunteers, it will always feel like talking to a friend who understands the struggles of growing up in today’s world.

A message to parents:

You must take care of your own wellness and mental health in order to provide the support your child needs. 💕

[Teen Line @TEENLINEONLINE]

Negative relationships with our parents can stem from generational trauma, but there is hope. When we begin to accept the symptoms, we can find ways to heal and reclaim our relationships! 💙

Remember, you can call Teen Line for assistance on how to have these difficult conversations!

Eating disorders are on the rise among teenagers, but research shows that early identification and treatment lead to more favorable outcomes 🙏🏽

Learn about 5 of the most common eating disorders and their symptoms ⬇️

Binge Eating Disorder

Individuals with this disorder typically eat unusually large amounts of food in relatively short periods of time and feel a lack of control during binges.

If you’re a parent supporting a teenager experiencing suicidal thoughts, remember to keep an open mind. Going into conversations without preconceived judgments can help you learn – and understand – the depths of your child’s struggles.

[Teen Line @TEENLINEONLINE]

LGBTQ+ youth have more than 4x increased risk of attempting suicide. This is typically the result of facing discrimination and rejection from family.

When our family accepts us for who we are, it can positively affect every aspect of our lives. 💙

Nearly 18% of teen girls have experienced sexual violence.

Seeking help when we are experiencing violence or being violent will help put an end to patterns of structural misogyny.
