anouther miracle in progress

story 1: A miracle

Rachel, was always alone, she did not have any friends. When the teacher did ask a question she never answered, she was really broken down, she had the lowest scores of the class, she didn’t care, when her mom asked her with tears in her eye, why? She told her mom with a passive tone, she doesn’t have a reason to do it.

our director did diagnose her, with cognitive deficiency. It started like that but it was developed much worse, Rachel doesn’t think she is worthless, she is really less then everyone around her, and everyone knows it, so there was no reason for her at all to try to do anything. she did give up before the battle even started, the reason for getting worse was much more in her believe, then it is actually happening, so even a little bit of  bullying, does the trick, and she was finished for life. she didn’t give any effort for friendship, so everyone that tries to speak with her once, she didn’t even properly introduce herself, she looked like a shadow, she didn’t know it is much more her doing than a illness,

We took in Rachel; we gave her somebody to be her sister, a new older sister, in place of no one. Someone to be with her, we made her the captain of the craft team, and everybody needed to ask her for advice. and it was wonders she changed in those two weeks, no one could believe it is the same girl.

she started to laugh, she had loads of new friends, she even redo a test from the last term, and everyone did see she really does have talent’s. Rachel was a new person.

and Rachel is not first case and not the last case, and not the worst case, after 2 weeks the director did receive a big bunch of flowers with a box of chocolate as a thank you from her mother, but the director said the most rewording thing wasn’t the chocolate or the flowers, it was the tears of joy that came out of the mothers eyes.

I know that the gift in my will can help to make sure the next generation of young people will have someone who’s there for them, just I had. I also know that even after I’m gone, I’ll still be supporting one of my favourite charities.

“Self-harming by teenage girls doubles in 20 years”

The Times, 6ugust
2018

Not all of that increase reflects a genuine increase in self-harming, because measurement and reporting of the issue is getting better.

The number of girls admitted to hospital because of self-harming has doubled in the last 20 years.

The number of admissions for girls under the age of 18 because of self-harm increased from around 7,300 in 1997/98 to 13,500 in 2016/17. That’s an 84% increase.

That was a decrease on the previous year when there were over 14,600 admissions.

Over the same time period the number of girls in England under the age of 18 has increased by just 5%.

we can change all that, will you help us
