Depression Is Real.. And I'll advice parents to always watch their wards carefully, if your child is not good academically, don't force or put pressure on them, more over school certificate is not paying millions that are graduates out there.. Just look out for their talents or area of creativity and allow them work on it. Just support their talent and creativity techniques... And I wish we start Building Practical Creative Workshops Centers where youths can go to and develop their skills practical base on creative careers they have passion for.
