Chapter 24 - Mental health letter

Dear Mental Health,

I never thought it was true, but I've been speaking to your exes about your past relationships. Only now have I seen how many tragedies you have caused. I guess I never really noticed because me and you were cool and we never had a problem. We may have fought every once in awhile but what friends don't. I just thought it was normal, not all part of your big master scheme. I only noticed your true colors when I talked with my sister, and she mentioned your relationship. She told me how you sneeked the idea of suicide in her mind, how you brought down her confidence and self worth with all your negative comments. I never thought you could create so much hate in someone's mind, to make them hate the world, to make them hate their surroundings, to make them hate themselves. I guess I was just blind to your true character and intentions. Now that I'm in highschool I can see the picture more clearly, all the many young minds you have affected, it's almost as if you were a disease spreading through the school's population. However, what if this is all my fault, my fault for not noticing how damaged you were, my fault for not realizing your struggles, my fault for not stopping you. Too bad I'm a bit too passive for my own good and I'm not really the best comforter. So instead I'll stand by, to see how things play out and if I see another broken soul do to your mental harm maybe I'll help them.

Sincerely,

Your lost friend, Me
