CLAIRE

It is often very challenging for teenagers to talk about their experiences and seek support.
Asking for help or simply opening up and talking about what you’re going through is a sign of weakness. This stigma has to go.

The story behind the film

It is often very challenging for teenagers to talk about their experiences and seek support.
Asking for help or simply opening up and talking about what you’re going through is a sign of weakness. This stigma has to go.

Neither best mates nor the most caring mum can see anything wrong, they don’t notice a damn, single thing wrong. Scary.

These young men struggle terribly, assuming that they’re a burden to us. They leave without any warning, suddenly and unexpectedly.

It is a trap and they spiral. They draw a line just like that.
No goodbyes.

They leave us thinking that we could have done more.
We think that if we’d had just only one different word to them –
there would have been a different outcome. We blame ourselves. We’re trapped.

‍Sometimes we get angry with them because we wish they could see what happens to us afterwards.

We wish they could see how the past becomes our forever present.
