OSociety has created a motto that because we're young we can't be sad, and that's awful! How can people invalidate others just because they're young? 

EI'm afraid to talk about my problems with my own friends because being sad or appearing sad feels wrong....I don't know how I can ask for help.

this is absolutely true and it pisses me the hell off. the lenghts people go to try and not show weakness only leads to others being hurt in the process, bottling up your feelings is never ok, that is why i absolutely DESPISE IT when someone says something along the lines of "man up" to any person, makes me wanna punch them till they themselves start cryin.

Yes, there's that famous phrase "boys don't cry," and that's so problematic. What's the point of a man not being able to express such a common feeling? It only causes more psychological problems and excess.Yes, there's that famous phrase "boys don't cry," and that's so problematic.

The worst part is that many still cling to the "men don't cry" mentality. I hate how acceptable that has become in society.
