Personally, I grew up without much guidance. Both of my parents have always wanted and still want me to be something that I'm not, and can't be. My school never once helped me despite my diagnosed depression, the mental abuse I faced at home and life as a whole, and Sex Education and Personal Development lessons barely scraped the surface of the reality of life. When I had questions about the world and life, the factual pages that I found on google and the poor advice from those around me left me confused and lost in a world of expectations and decisions that needed to be made. In essence I saw something that needed changing, and with my own personal experiences, I hope I can help you. I created "what they don't teach you at school" to lift the veil that is put on life as you grow up - not knowing who you are, what you want and what's right and wrong. We're all in the same sinking boat - but I hope that my experiences can make you better, and develop you to be the best version of yourself.
