A Mental Health Plea For India's Parents

Dear parents, mental health is a real thing. “Please understand.”

[shubhangishakya]

Just to let you know only kids are watching this video.

Even i've no courage to share this video to my parents 🤷‍♂️
That's how we raised !

[Yash-itnq]

Indian parents: Stop playing sports, stop learning musical instruments, stop singing and dancing, stop drawing and writing, and asking questions. Focus on your studies and career.
Also Indian parents: Why couldn't you be like that kid who got international recognition in sports, art, or scientific research?

Every child deserves parents but every parent doesn't deserve kids. 💔

[shubhamnarole]

This should be broadcast on channels like Star plus, Star Utsav and zee TV before TV serial starts...I hope parents will get message.🙏

The fact we can't even share this video to our parents ☹️ because they will be like "unhone bola aur tumne ye man bhi liya"

[itznikiswifeu]

Dear parents,
Thanks for giving me food, shelter, beautiful things, education .
I wish you could give me mental support

[divishamanek]

Parents think they know us cause they are "parents" but they are the reason of our bad mental health

[adityareddy]

I spoke about depression to my father he told that who are depressed are losers

"Will you compare our Problems with your Childhood Struggle":
Struck deep in ❤️

[Piueditsss]

It hit hard "meri asli ladai to meri bahar ki duniya se honi chahiye" 💔

[Aankhein]

I might sound judgmental and bitter... but most of the people from 60s and 70s have failed at parenting...

[thclassboards]

Indian parents: our child is strong and determined to goal
Child's pillow: (shouting)No it's not the truth

[samaira]

The fact that we cannot talk about this with our parents just breaks me

[xtojvdd]

No one apart from kids will watch this even after 3 years. We are taught to be brave but never been taught how to handle dejection, and failure. Dear parents, I really wish this pops up in your FB or yt feed someday, so that you know we really are not okay.

I learned how to burry my wishes when i was 10... i still crave everything people do to be happy, to enjoy their life..people say i grew stronger.. but let me remind you.. i was a kid.. i didn't needed to be stronger.. all i needed was to be loved..

How many of the people watching this almost cried or cried somewhat or went into a puddle of thoughts?
This tells it all in itself...


Edit after 2 years: my god, i wish i could hug each person in the replies... all i wanna say is that stay strong and find ways to deal with it cuz parents have a lot of pressure and expectations! They love you but they don't know parenting, most don't. That ruins many things for some children but hey... rely on endurance for the time being. Learn more about what you want to do in life. Adjust, plan and focus.

Eventually you'll respectfully earn your way out as you grow up. Forgive your parents for those big and little things. Tough love 💕

[evilanime]

we can't show this to our parents nor will they understand... But lets just all work hard so that we could give our coming generation all that we could not get

"Often at 3 AM, a strange thought keeps me awake" ...this line almost brought me tears! Insomnia due to depression and overthinking has become an unconditional, unspoken epidemic that our generation is left to deal with..

I showed this video to my father and in the middle of watching it, he pushed away the phone and said "Will these kids teach me parenting?" 🙂

I'm shocked to see so many people like me in the comments are facing the same thing. I've been going through emotional abuse by my parents since childhood and it has only increased since my teenage.

Most brown parents are toxic, no doubt we've all grew up from childhood trauma.
May we heal and not pass it on the next generation.
