Since my short film is about mental illnesses in teenagers, often going unnoticed, I want to research it.
Teenagers usually experience mental health issues that go unnoticed or untreated because of how young they are. Some of them have trouble expressing their feelings clearly, which is why they struggle finding help. Also, there's a fear of rejection or exposure of their private selves to their world. Untreated mental health issues in teens can turn into something dangerous. There is an increasingly large number of teens who experience academic failure, suicidal thoughts, and even self-harm. However, there are signs that teens may give off to help them with their situations.
Emotionally, they may be sad or irritable, guilty, worried, or they may have withdrawal from activities they enjoy. Behaviorally, they may have a decline in school performance, they can have reckless behavior with drugs, they may avoid social situations, or they could have a drastic change in sleeping or eating habits.
To accurately represent these struggles in teenagers, I will use these traits to demonstrate how difficult it may be for a teenager to live their life normally with no hardships. I will use my cast members to help with this.
