Oh yeah and I've recently noticed that people that I stalk on twitter from my school tweet things like "I'm incredibly socially awkward" when they are not at all. It really annoys me...
While there are people who are fighting for years against a mental disease there are also other people who seem to think it's cool to have those diseases. It's clearly silly, but at least it raises awareness, I suppose? Not awareness in the right way though. It doesn't raise awareness in the right way though. Like I said, there are people really struggling with it. When people talk about having those illnesses when they don't and trivialize it, it hurts the image that we want to present. If you have a bunch of teens claiming they are Bipolar for example because it's cool to be "moody" and "creative", it trivializes and misrepresents the hell and torture that real Bipolar Disorder is. It leads to misunderstanding and gives people the impression that BP isn't serious. And that will happen with any disorder teens misrepresent and trivialize.
