Ever since middle school, I have been deeply concerned about how mental health is often overlooked in Vietnam, especially among the youth. As a student, I frequently witnessed my classmates joke about sensitive topics like depression or suicide as if they were normal, and that truly alarmed me. It showed me how an entire generation was becoming desensitized to psychological pain. Every year, the increasing news of students taking their own lives because of academic pressure has made me wonder why the idea of seeking help seems so distant in our culture. The nagging question compelled me to study psychology to change that. My goal is to reinforce the importance of mental well-being in Vietnamese families and help create a culture where people, especially children, feel safe to speak up about their struggles. Therapy should not be viewed as luxurious or strange but rather accessible and respected. I hope to one day bring psychological education into schools, not as a subject, but as training for teachers to better understand and support their students’ emotional needs. I want every student in Vietnam to see school not as a prison, but as a place where they can grow, find joy in learning, and be truly heard.
