“I was too shy to ask for help”
SRH“I started my period at school, and I didn't know what to do. I was scared to ask anyone because I thought they would laugh at me. I stayed quiet the whole day. Later, I found someone I trusted, and I realized I was not alone. I just needed a safe way to ask for help.”
It's okay to ask for help. There are people who care and want to support you.
“I believed wrong information”
HIV“I thought you could not get HIV if you trusted your partner, so I didn't think protection was necessary. Later, I learned that trust alone is not protection. Now I understand the importance of testing and staying informed.”
Accurate information protects your health and your future.
“I kept everything inside”
Mental Health“I felt stressed and overwhelmed, but I didn't talk to anyone. I thought no one would understand. One day, I opened up, and it helped more than I expected.”
