Mental Health Week 2021
Here is a poem written by Aoibhinn for Mental Health Week. Well done Aoibhinn!
Wellbeing by Aoibhinn
Write it down: if you are worried write it down and it should make you feel better.
Easy on yourself: If you are sad or worried be easy on yourself and tell someone.
Liking each other just the way they are: Everyone is obviously unique in their own ways and we should treat everyone just the way we are because if you are being mean or bullying someone just because they like something that you don’t like or any sort of bullying, it could impact their mental health in bad ways.
Loving care: Care for someone and it would make them feel less alone.
Be nice: Be nice and kind online and in real life. If you wouldn’t like it to be said to you, zip your mouth shut.
Exercise: Going on a walk or run or even going outside can make you happy
I can beat the online enemies: If you are worrying about something bad that happened online it is best to tell a trusted adult. In any sort of bullying online you should tell someone. Stop, Block/Report, Tell.
Never Be always online: If you are online all the time, anything could pop up or something strange could happen and you could get scared or worried.
Good friends: Good friends are key for your wellbeing because they support you, help you through the bad and the good and they are very kind. (only if they are good friends 
)
