Kyle’s Story is just one of the stories featured in My Life is Worth Living, the world’s first animated series about teen mental health. Each episode features stories that explore what it is like to be a young person right now and how to incorporate positive mental health skills into your life.
Persistent bullying becomes a waking nightmare for 16-year-old Kyle, whose struggles with negative thinking take center stage when it seems like everyone at school is against him. Feeling trapped and alone, Kyle turns to alcohol to suppress the self-critical voice that echoes in his head. Kyle hides the bullying and the alcoholism from his father Mario, who he believes could never understand what he’s going through.
Sensing that something is wrong, Mario shares about his own struggle with PTSD after the service, and helps Kyle get comfortable communicating about his feelings. Alcohol doesn’t numb the pain forever, but when his negative thoughts become overpowering again, Kyle finds that opening up about his struggle with people who care about him is a more powerful remedy than drinking could ever be.
