Our submission was inspired by how some of us feel at times. We want to share how we feel, but it’s difficult because we are soft-spoken or worried about bothering people with our problems. If we bottle our emotions we can get into a depression and that can lead to dark place.
Our submission relates back to the submission’s criteria because the wolf wants to talk to the three little pigs but the pigs keep running away from him, so the wolf now feels like a bother.
A small bit of hope can not only bring life back into our lives, but can liberate us from our doubt, guilt, and despair.
Teenagers are often faced with negative thoughts. These thoughts totally engulf a teenager’s mind which impacts them in some of the worst ways possible. It’s hard to talk about emotions for a plethora of reasons; not understanding them, not wanting to appear weak, and not wanting to bother others. Reassurance, safe spaces, and support are what teenagers need to better their mental health. They should know that they always have help and asking for it will bother no one.
A conversation of two friends and one is comforting the other and telling them resources to further help them.
This is a digital art piece of a young child reaching for the stars, where sunlight and stardust collide with each other, as well as a hand reaching out. By asking different people to take a look at this picture, I’ve learned that everyone sees and feels something different.
The little things about you that make you ‘you’ can never be replaced. Never be afraid to ask for help because you’re not a burden, and you never will be.
I wanted to show the art of stillness and the raw emotion that a photo can capture. I wanted my picture to give off the effect of a person feeling safe, loved, and comfortable telling other people their pain or just a random fact that they came up with. I wanted to show that no one is a burden, a pain, or a bother.
My submission is a poem, and my poem is meant to be for those who feel that they are bothersome, or an annoyance to others.
My entry for ‘You Are Never a Bother’ is a piece that is very personal to me. I was able to positively change someone’s life, and I asked that person how it made them feel. Receiving words of encouragement like “you are not a bother” really helped uplift them.
