What is Emotional Health
There are many different shapes and sizes in which emotional challenges comes in. Some are easier to cope with like being nervous sometimes or getting sad every now and then. However, some are really hard to deal with like being sad almost all the time or being nervous in times were you shouldn’t be.
When this happens, it is important to know that you should talk to an adult you trust about your feelings. Sometimes, kids can’t solve these problems by themselves. It’s even possible that the person is struggling with depression or anxiety. If this is the case, I want you to know that regardless of these emotional challenges, it’s important to accept each other and help each other when our feelings overwhelm us.
Emotional Health - Acceptance
Acceptance is very important when it comes to emotional challenges. If people don’t accept your choices or who you are, it could make you feel sad or not welcome. Acceptance is important when it comes to emotional health because if someone isn’t accepting you, it makes you feel like you don’t belong.
It’s important to know that everybody should accept one another for who they are and not their struggles or challenges.
About Me
Hi! My name is Kayla A. and I'm a Cadette in Girl Scouts. I have created this website for my Silver Award. I wanted to create this website on emotional health because I know a lot of young people struggle with their mental health. I am 14 years old and a freshman in High School. I'm also from New Jersey. I have been a Girl Scout since I was in Kindergarten (9 years). A lot of people in my family struggle with their emotional health. So, I wanted to do something to spread awareness and to let people know that they aren't alone. I was previously working on this project with 2 other girls but unfortunately, they aren't in Girl Scouts anymore. I want to earn the Silver Award because I know it would be good on college applications and possibly help me in the future. When it comes to your emotional health, things could be challenging. But I promise you will be okay and you will get through it!
