Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

How can I maintain or improve mental health?
I am from Tonga (link)
|
WEll, I would say from reading books, You are from Tonga, and I don't know if there are a lot of books available to you, but you are on the internet, and there are lots of books and publications and websites dedicated to mental health. And I am not sure if you mean, emotional health, mental health, and/or intelligence.
If I take the litteral meaning of your words, then I would say mental health means the absence of things like depression, schizophrenia, obsessive/compulsive disorders and stuff like that, and in some cases, people who have these problems have chemical imbalances or brain disorders that they cannot help, and many of them need to be on medication to maintain their mental health, so in that case, .....if you have problems like those, then you need to see a medical doctor.
I hope this helped.
Michele
