Chapter 06

"Dianne," Tawag sa'kin ni Callein, kasalukuyang naghahanda ako for my reporting. Kahit busy ako sa pag-gagawa ng powerpoint ko sa library ay nilingon ko siya, naka-taas ang dalawang kilay ko.

"Hindi mo pa ba kakausapin si Cleia, beb? Almost a month na kaya kayong hindi nag-uusap, hindi ka ba naaawa sa kanya?" Tanong niya, inalis ko ang specs ko at inunat ko ang aking katawan.

" 'Yong totoo, Callein? Kinausap ka ba niya tungkol diyan o naaawa ka lang sa pagiging friends namin ni Cleia?" I asked, he sighed because of what I've said.

"Parehas lang, Dianne. Kinausap niya ako tungkol sa friendship niyo and at the same time, naaawa ako sa friendship niyo. Mula elementary pa kayo magka-kilala, e." Sabi niya, isinuot ko ulit ang specs ko at nag-type ulit ako.

" She wants to talk to me, right?" I asked seriously, I saw that he smiled.

"Yes, Yanyan." He said and I nodded, I let out a deep sigh.

"Please tell her that we will talk before lunch break, thank you, Cal." I commanded, he smiled and nodded.

I'm on my 2nd year in High School, masasabi kong medyo mahirap din ang pagiging Grade 8 student.

Naging kaklase ko pa rin sina Ella, Callein at Frielle, pati si Cleia ay kaklase ko rin. May bago rin kaming kaibigan, his name is Dionne. If I'm going to describe him, he's just too quiet. Introvert din siyang tao pero nakaka-usap naman namin siya, lalo na kapag tungkol iyon sa kalokohan.

Natapos na rin ang paggawa ko ng powerpoint, individual kasi ang reporting namin. Ako at si Eloisa ang mag-rereport mamaya, about depression and anxiety ang topic at confident ako sa report ko. Nauna akong mag-present sa harapan, hindi naman ako kinakabahan kasi ako lagi ang pinapa-report kapag may reporting lalo na kapag sa groupings.

Huminga ako ng malalim at saka ako ngumiti sa kanila, magsasalita na sana ako kaso lang may pumasok bigla sa room.

"Good morning, Sir Morry and Ma'am Morrane." Miss Janna said. Si Lolo M at Lola M ang isa sa mga judges, hindi ko man lang alam na sila ang may-ari ng school na 'to! At mukhang mahina ako kay Lord ngayong araw, pumasok din si Friz sa room namin.

"Anyway, class. This is Friz Ian Sarmiento, he's the grandchild of the owner of this school." Sabi pa ni Miss Janna, kinabahan ako dahil titig na titig siya sa'kin ngayon.

"Good morning po, Sir Morry and Ma'am Morrane. Good morning, Friz." Bati ko.

"I am Dianne Arevalo and I'm here to preent you my report about depression and anxiety." I said and I started with the definition of it and the types and kinds of depression.

"Many people had experiencing depression especially the teenagers, many teenagers are committing suicide because of depression. Kadalasan ang mga dahilan sa pagkakaroon ng depression ay family problem, pakikipag-hiwalay sa boyfriend or girlfriend, pag-kamatay ng mahal mo sa buhay, etc." Sabi ko, nang matapos ako sa pag-didiscuss ko about depression ay sumunod na ako sa anxiety.

"Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress. It's a feeling of fear or apprehension about what's to come. Just like depression, anxiety is the one of the reason why people are committing suicide. They have their own ways of killing themselves and instead of consulting to a doctor, they are preferring to choose committing suicide. Cutting their wrists, hanging themselves on the ceiling, jumping on a building, burning themselves, taking pills, drowning themselves and hitting themselves on a wall or on a car are the examples of committing suicide. Nang dahil sa pagkakaroon ng depression at anxiety ay pinipili nilang patayin ang kanilang sarili." Mahabang sabi ko, magsasalita na sana ako kaso biglang nag-salita si Friz.
