However, he refrained from confiding in his parents or teachers because he feared it would exacerbate the situation."I didn't want to appear weak by discussing my struggles," he said.In secondary school, the bullying persisted and influenced him to alter his behaviour in order to stop being a target.

"To honour her memory and our close bond, I got a tattoo on my ribs that reads: 'You saw me take my first breath, I saw you take your last.'" "Her death taught me the importance of not keeping my struggles bottled up inside," he said."I realised that silently suffering alone can have a detrimental effect on my health and well-being."

"Be patient with yourself, recovery takes time and it's okay to have ups and downs along the way. You deserve compassion and support as you navigate your journey towards better mental health."
