I finished school in the late 80s and there was nothing at all about mental health, bullying, family abuse, etc.

I was abused for years and sought help when I was in grade 5. That was the only time I ever had a chance to talk about it until many years later with my to be wife and therapy years later.

Those topics just weren't discussed.

I'm glad things have changed now. My kids don't fully understand my mental health issues but they do understand depression.
