I love this article. I haven't thought about things like this since I was a kid.

I recall my parents refusing permission for me to participate in a wellbeing survey or something of that sort that was offered to students at my high school. Till this day I feel that if I hadn't have to have got permission, it would have referred me to counselling like one of my friends, and I would have got removed from that family violence situation and had a better mental health trajectory. I now they don't want what's bad for my mental health. They didn't know better.
