Join the Fight Against Mental Health Issues in Teenagers

From 1994 to now, the amount of teenagers struggling with Anxiety, Depression, and other diagnosable mental health issues have over doubled in rates. The primary cause of this is the environment provided to these kids. Prevention of these mental health disorders have been focused on the physical world, by targeting Home Life, Relationships, and health of these adolescents. Similar to the way being friends with a bad person is a negative influence, social media has now become the pinnacle of mental health disorders. There is constant content being produced that facilitates feelings of insecurity, dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem. There are teenagers striving to look like popular Instagram models, while others strive after unrealistic expectations that pulls them deeper into these mental health issues. My goal is to help these teenagers through 2 ways. The first way is to increase awareness of the negative influences social media can have on teenagers through social media posts. With interactive content related to mental health awareness - such as the rising genre "hope core" - teenagers will see this content and learn how much they are being influenced. The Second way builds off the first. Posting on Social Media gains a lot of revenue. TikTok, one of the most popular forms of social media for teenagers, has a creativity program that pays 4-8 dollars per 1,000 views on the app. Obtaining 1 Million Views would lead to 4-8 thousand. What I am currently doing is creating interactive and attractive mental health content to gain a following of teenagers that both relate to the content and find it informative, and eventually get accepted into the creativity program. The funds earned will be donated back into this GoFundMe, to research organizations and mental health charities. If you are reading this, any amount donated would be helping teenagers around the globe that struggle with these mental health disorders.
