For many years, mental health in
schools has been kept quiet. In fact it has
been kept so quiet that there never has been
any effort to bring it out into the public. But
thats not the case anymore. Now more than
ever, people have been calling out stigmas
associated with mental health through
media and many individuals in high school
can seek professional help in a school
environment. At Bishop Carroll Im proud to
say that we handle stigma and mental health
exceptionally well. So well, that the Mental
Health and Wellness Committee is putting
on a mental health symposium to spread
their knowledge of stigma busters and ways
to cope with mental health. Im very proud
to say that Ive been giving the opportunity
to be a part of it all.

The New Normal: Do We Worry
team has been working on this symposium
Too Much?
since the start of the year and we have put
so much effort into bringing this to our
school. Not only does this symposium set
us apart from other schools, it is also a very
important event for the members of this
club. Julia Caddy, one of the co-presidents
of the club says this about the importance of
the symposium and the realities of mental
illnesses;
Not a question you hear every day.
Most mental illnesses, including depression,
are more common than ever and experts
are desperately trying to identify the cause.
Depression is 10 times more common in
people born since 1945 compared to people
born before 1945. From desensitization of the
subject of depression to a chemical imbalance
to over diagnosis; depression isnt only a
mental illness but a psychological epidemic,
taking North America by storm.
First of all, desensitization to the
subject of mental health is only contributing to
the skyrocketing amount of diagnoses. Youth
today are bombarded with campaigns to raise
awareness regarding mental health. While
these campaigns are founded with the best of
intentions, they may be normalising a serious
issue. With the media often capitalizing on
suicide, homicide, or school-place assaults,
we find television- which has been a primary
escape for many sufferers- now rife with
stories of depression. The amount of anxiety
and depression in our society is not just
staggering, but overwhelming. How is it that
as a society we can deem abnormal, the new
normal? As if daily stress isnt enough, now
people have to worry about expressing their
anxiety, for fear of being taken to various
psychiatrists. However, the other end of
the spectrum is no more consoling; with
people claiming disorders as a way out of
the daily stress of life. With the amount of
death and sorrow present in almost all forms
of entertainment, is it really a wonder that
very little has an effect on people? Everyone
wants to feel unique; to be different, which

Case 07 Shoot
Pirate Pete had been captured by a Spanish
general and sentenced to death by his 50man firing squad.
Pete cringed, as he knew their reputation for
being the worst firing squad in the Spanish
military. They were such bad shots that
they would often all miss their targets and
simply maim their victims, leaving them to
bleed to death, as the generals tradition was
to only allow one shot per man to save on
ammunition. The thought of a slow painful
death made Pete beg for mercy.
Very well, I have some compassion. You
may choose where the men stand when they
shoot you and I will add 50 extra men to
the squad to ensure someone will at least hit
you. Perhaps if they stand closer they will kill
you quicker, if youre lucky, snickered the
general. Oh, and just so you dont get any
funny ideas, they cant stand more than 20 ft
away, they must be facing you, and you must
remain tied to the post in the middle of the
yard. And to show Im not totally heartless,
if you arent dead by sundown Ill release
you so you can die peacefully outside the
compound. I must go now but will return
tomorrow and see to it that you are buried
in a nice spot, though with 100 men, I doubt
there will be much left of you to bury.
After giving his instructions the general left.
Upon his return the next day, he found that
Pete had been set free alive and well. How
could this be? demanded the general. It
