TAKE CHARGE
Do something that makes you feel in control.

GET EXPERT ADVICE
Seek out to your guidance counselor or, to stay anonymous, call a helpline or crisis line.

DO SOMETHING YOU’RE GOOD AT
Whatever reminds you that you’re capable.

TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
Don’t worry about the long-term consequences.

Last but not least, kindness and caring should always be in the minds and practiced, for they are a best catalyst towards a higher level of humanity and a greater perpetuation of love. Credit to Ding Zhe Hao.
