COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A D20 high school senior opened the floodgates to her mom after so much built-up pressure.
"Certainly it's very difficult to see your child in tears, but I'm glad at least she opened up," her mom Yamini said. She's not the only one needing help to deal with stress. Staff with Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention Partnership said more teens are needing resources to support their mental health, especially during the first few months of school.
But Parnika said she felt alone."As a high schooler, I think it's kind of hard to realize that, especially when we see all these people who are like successful, we don't know how to get there.""It helped me a lot knowing I'm not alone, it also helped my peers know they're not alone and I think even further than that, it's been a resource to know that there are a lot of opportunities out there," Parnika said.
