Welcome back!
This term we are writing speeches, I have chosen to write my speech on mental health, because i think it is a big problem in our world today. Here is a paragraph I have wroten:
1 in 6 New Zealanders are diagnosed with a mental disorder at some point in their life. This means that around 833333 people struggle with mental illness. Having a mental illness is draining. Everyday is a battle. You lose friends and the things you used to enjoy aren't fun anymore, but still mental health isn't treated the same as physical health. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Why? Because if you aren't happy living your day to day life or you don't see the point in getting up in the morning then there is a problem. We need to fix it. New Zealand has the highest teen suicide rate in the world. In 2016 data shows that 554 people committed suicide. 554 people took their own lives because they didn't think there was a way out. In the whole world around every 40 second someone takes their own life. This needs to be talked about more.
