2. • I have made a photo album about human rights issues, depression, addiction and
suicide because I wanted to raise awareness as so many young people I know are
affected by them.
• I have used all my own photographs and have provided a title and a short description for
each one.
• I hope that my photo story will highlight these issues and send a message of hope and
inspiration to young people.
• Pictures speak a thousand words in every language.
• I want my piece to inspire people who are not feeling great to seek help and know that
they are not alone. There are plenty of ways to get on the road to feeling better.
• No matter what the situation you are in, there is always a way out.

People can be on the edge of society and feel like they are always on
the outside looking in and never inside looking out. They are at risk of

Drugs or Alcohol look like they will provide short term
comfort to those feelings isolated but their side effects can
be way more devastating than the original problem.

Everything depends on how we view the world. Some people
need help to see the world differently. If they can they can
see a way out.

citizenship. It may be uphill at the start but all good things are
